If they don't kick me off the track for the exhaust being too loud. That's going to be a fun hurdle to overcome. Sound limit is 103db. Not sure how or where they measure from in comparison to the car being on the track at WOT, but I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there. This car is definitely LOUD.

Never did get to update after my track day...
I was able to get out on 4/23. The car did great. Through the corners, there was not a single car that could stay with me. Unfortunately my track day was short lived. I only was able to get two sessions before they shut me down for loudness. I knew this was a risk, but I was willing to take it. Unfortunately it is what it is. The car is a lot quicker than I had expected. I get driven away from pretty badly on straightaways by some of the faster cars, but there were a couple times I was directly behind an ACR Viper and a C7 ZR1, and I actually had to lift and let them get away from me a little bit because through the tight sections of the course, I would run them down. This car absolutely exceeded my expectations and desires on the track in the time I did get.
The car is currently listed for sale as of 5/24/19. While I do not really have to sell the car, I have a strong desire to get back into the seat of an oval car on a full time basis and would like to go back that direction again. Unfortunately that will require 100% focus on that and this car will likely end up just sitting in the corner of my shop.
