Works Challenge Car
Got a Works Challenge Car last week! Took it out for testing at Infineon. A blast to drive!

I used shaved Toyos but will switch to slicks for the next outing on Oct. 24.

Different to drive than the Porsches I am used to, but lots of grip and plenty of hp. Lots of WOT.

Anyone knows where to get the Dunlops and any experience with them?

Enclosed a pic of the car, next time I need to have someone take some at the track.

Awesome car man! The wife has a R53 JCW MCS and that thing is the most fun you can have on 4 wheels. I almost enjoy driving it more then my SC Boxster S. Congrats!

Sorry I am no help with the tires

Congrats anyway, i'd love to see more pics or any videos of this.

great looking car for sure, i can only imagine how fun it would be on track. we just traded in oru fairly modded '02 MCS for an 08 MCS and haven't done anything on it yet. i know the old one was a blast, i can only imagine a dedicated track version!
