Southern California track lap times?

[Aces]

Hi everyone!
I'm looking to purchase a 2022 GR86 or BRZ. Curious if anyone has been able to participate in a track day in an open passing group & if you could pm or post your laptimes? Obviously track times isn't what it's all about but just curious how it compares to what I used to run. (Times are very driver dependent of course)

I used to do a ton of track days in a 2005 M3 (E46). Coilovers & squared 265/18's. Looking to get back into the hobby & sold the M3 a few years ago. The GR86/BRZ is really looking like the best option so far as a street/track car.

Auto Club roval, streets & big willow & button willow times? Thank you!

FWIW: second hand / unreliable data...

I have seen several gen 2 cars at streets of willow. A good driver, with what he claimed was an "as delivered" car (casual glance - it was stock tires/wheels, and no obvious camber) was claiming 1:27. I don't think he was exaggerating. CSGmike on this forum has not posted numbers, but has posted videos that seem to support this level of performance.

1:28 with a passenger:

There was another video on youtube claiming 1:23 but with tires/suspension mods

I'm an amateur:

ACS Roval 2:03.94

Chuckwalla 2:06.883

Buttonwillow 13CW 2:08.158

I think in general if you can be at 2:00 or faster at Buttonwillow, you can do plenty of good lap times in this car. Tons of info out there with videos.

Reference 86Cup lap records. You can probably find the associated video with a quick youtube search.



Nonetheless, that should give you an idea of what the best possible times are based on a reference modding level. View accordingly, judge where you fall based on your own skill/mod level, and add/subtract time delta.

Ummm....

I think the OP is asking about the 2022 model...

Completely stock:

ACS: 1:59
SoWS: 1:26
WSIR - Haven't tried
BRP: 2:02

These are with abnormally high tire pressures to try to not destoy them too quickly.

No idea; haven't tried either with a stock car.

Consider Mike's times in the hands of a good driver. My modded gen 1 can only do 2:05 at BW. I am nowhere near as good of a driver as Mike
