Hoosier R6 (still a DOT tire) 1:49 18/275 front 19/315 rear
R888 (full tread depth) 1:52 18/275 from 19/295 rear
-Both tires are DOT approved and not true Gumball slicks-
These times were run with NO aero modifications on factory base model calipers with Hawk Blue pads and DBA rotors. Full weight as the car came from the factory. The car had more in it, on the hoosiers. I didn't change the alignment at all when switching to the stickier rubber which resulted in me cording the outside edge of the front left tire.
Next time out I added the Wilwood brakes, a lot of chamber, swapped out the rear sway bar and took the front bar to a higher stiffness setting. To many changes at once spun in the first session which resulted in flat spotting both rear tires bad enough to kill the day.
Fastest 5.0 lap was a 2:02. 100% stock!
