Seat time in the car and experience on Buttonwillow, I'd say. That was my first time driving the car and first time at that track. The car 1000% has it in it as it sits. I'm confident with a few more changes, I'll beat the street tire record (1:58.xx by Berk), without aero and on 255's.

The car DEFINITELY needs a bigger rear bar and I'd say stiffer front springs at the very least. So before the next outing, I'll be doing 8k front, E92 M3 rear bar and maybe 14k rear springs. Also going to see if BimmerWorld can get me an adustable front lower control arm so I can dail in more neg camber without cutting the shock tower or running an offset control arm bushing.
Can't believe Berk couldn't get below 1:58 - that seems really really doable without aero. Some folks notch the strut tower 3-5mm to add a bit of camber, haven't seen many failed strut towers on this platform.
