End of hour endurance , with leaking exhaust manifold , car response like pig
Lap time is 2-3sec slower !!

I always wonder with amount of FD sold in US, we should see more track FD? Or even track day FD,

But there were over 450,000 C5 and C6 Corvettes sold in the USA...
For the track a C5/C6 Z06 Corvette is about the same price as an FD and is really the staple of American performance.
In competition on the track the FD is going to be the real underdog compared to C6 Z06.
There is still the odd FD out there in import oriented competition events like Time Attack in the US.

There were 15,000 some odd FDs imported here to the US with some 5,000 still registered.

But as number wise, I see more people using FD at solo2 then track, u see more people road race RE at Jamaica then state🤣
Which number wise still far less then like S2000?
I know w2w is not for every one, for example there is only 30-50 FD3S in my county most of them don't even know how to heel&toe ....... That is sad for a owner
Just Hope to see more people at track with any RE

You can probably find a cheap used turbo kit on Yahoo Auctions.
