Front mount intercooler
Racing tires


Result:

As you can see in the video, it was a pretty even match in the straights, but advantage went to him in the corners slightly given he was running racing tires and I had shitty all seasons. Overall, I was pretty impressed with the GTI's performance, especially given this was my first time ever on a track. Probably one of the most fun, if not THE most fun thing I've ever done.

It was opening weekend and you paid $25 for3 "paced" laps. Fortunately we wound up in the back of the pack and the 3 cars ahead of us were perfectly fine hanging bag and creating space for us to pretty much go full bore all 3 laps. An unexpected surprise! Wasn't planning on it turning out that way, but certainly wasn't complaining!
