Very nice. Do you have an exhaust or intake? Good sounds until the wind takes over. Better sounds when the flat-6's go blowing by. South Course was probably a little less frustrating than full, but in spite of my initial thoughts about the car's power, I was wrong. I wanted more. A lot more... It was awful on the straights needing a lift by *everyone* except maybe the 1.6 Miata drivers.

I have the SRT header back. I got a lot of compliments on the sound. Overall a lot of interest and compliments on the car too, and from quite a few Cayman drivers. :P

The South Course is frustrating because it does not let your brakes cool down. "Fish hook" (right before south rejoins full at the top of the climbing esses) is frustrating to find the line.
Nice segue on the brakes: the stock pads and fluid suck. I boiled the crap out of the fluid the first day. Changed it to Super Blue that night. The next day I wore out the pads, so I didn't even get to drive my car on Full Course, which was on the 3rd day. Fortunately my father-in-law let me drive his e36 that day. Fun car, lots of torque. Hopefully he uploads a video of my 2:20.4 lap, hehe.
