So basically a full second faster, I wonder if you can get time with wider wheels, both of those tires can really use a wider wheel

One of the reasons I got 11" wheels over 10 or 10.5" wheels, everyone tells me a little stretch on race tires helps.

I was at Laguna this weekend with SpeedSF and talked with James with the Z and cousin with the Suby. I couldn't find you on FB, so hit me up here so we can chat about another event! (I'll be at Laguna with SpeedSF on Feb 7 as well - bring your crew! And do the SpeedSF Time Attack (extra session and includes transponder for $20).
