thanks for the info, it sounded beast when you flew by me on the main road as we returned from the dragon. The 3 FC's tried their best to catch up to you. 
lastly, I know your fronts are 18x9.5 et15, what are your rear wheel specs and what wheels are they. I completely forgot to check.

LOL, I was wondering who was in those FC's.... I didn't even know they were trying to keep up. I thought I saw someone filming in a truck, I started recording with my gopro when I left the dragon, but it ran out of batteries before that section of highway. I was having a blast on those roads! Check your PMs
They've been sitting pretty stationary for a couple years... While Dan's look nice with the Blue/Red, I'm a big fan of the Yellow/Polished B6 fashion!

Yup it sure was a rotary. I guess you really don't hear the exhaust note from that location on the car. Thanks
Yeah, Mr Michael yelled at me later that night too...
But then again he also yelled at me for not giving him a Goodfella shirt.

Ok after my track session at Monticello organized by Trackacardia I have to say the suspension feels amazing. I didn't push the car all the way to it's limits, but the car felt very planted and predictable. On the high speed back straight the car does feel a bit loose, but I think that has more to do with the lack of a rear wing then anything.
During my track session I also realized that the rear brakes are hardly working at all. Onto diagnostics, but my first step will be replacing the 16 year old rear calipers. Here is a quickly thrown together warmup lap with me following zumspdRx-7. The track is 4.1 miles long with 22 turns
I'm happy to say that by the fourth session I had the track memorized.
All in all, the track day was great, had a blast meeting some of the other owners at the track and hangin out with goodfellaFD3s (Rich), bridgeported12A (Ryan) , snkydvl (Damari), jhnRx7 (John) and zumspdrx7(Rick).

I really need to get some brake temp paint to see just how hot the rotors are getting. They're not cold when I come off track that's for sure and there is some dust in the wheels but you can still see the cross hatching from where the rotors were cut still.... I'm running the same pads front/rear RB ET500's.

Good stuff Dan. Car looked awesome from my rear view 
Juuuust kidding! I think seeing you in my rear view made me push it that much harder though (when I actually looked). I knew I had to make up as much time in the corners as I could cause you caught me on every straight (80 horsepower difference). You got deserved point bys throughout the day, and an erroneous hazards by at kitty litter. Plus you didn't overheat. Good stuff. Regardless of whoever was in front, playing cat and mouse with you was awesome. Most fun I've had in years. Too bad we had all the Sunday drivers holding us up lap after lap (i.e. Mr. M3 session after session and Mr. I dont give point bys S2000.)
Let's do it again in August!
When is the Mrow! SakeBomb Garage vinyl line coming out? "When number plates and tow hook vinyls just aren't enough"

Doesn't look like it, you'd have to crack it open and wire it up yourself
