Tuned for Drivng Force Pro/G25 at Laguna Seca on R3 tires.

987 hp with an "oil change".
Gears by way of "Tranny Trick".

Ran 1' 08.803 on R3 tires with 987 Hp from a stock tune, 9/16/07.
Ran 1' 08 506 on R3 tires with 987 Hp, 9/22/07 after a wholesale suspension retune.

The CREDIT for the suspension retune goes to UKProRacer. His fresh look at the setup of this car and the changes he shared with me make this C9 an entirely new, and better, car to drive.

Considering this car for the Circuit de la Sarthe 24hr I Endurnace Event.
Final Ratio: 3.050
Shock Bound: 8 / 7 - Lowered to take the edge off the bumps on the Mulsanne Straight.

Ran 3' 10.269 on R3 tires with 987 Hp in practice, 9/23/07
..... 3' 08.504 ........................................., 9/24/07
