Pretty similar haha. They seem a little stickier overall. Especially in cold and wet! The Z was up there with AWD cars on a cold and wet autoX thanks to the PS4S.

I had a couple instances where the drop in grip caught me off-guard.
Once while braking, and I almost ran out of track. Another time while powering out of a turn and the rear kicked out a lot, far before I was expecting halfway through the exit. That was a bit more of a panty-pooper.

If you have a choice between 200TW tires and PS4S, I'd only recommend the PS4S on cold wet days.

OS Giken diffs are no joke. I really enjoy mine since I got the correct fluid in it.

I still have touring seats so I may need to get some racing seats for track use. Are you using side mount brackets?

If we do something like this, does our insurance co cover damages from a crash and will they frown upon it and raise rates?? Just wondering.

Most insurance companies don't cover track events. Read your policy and talk to your agent. They do sell policies that covers just the event.

Unfortunately I didn't do any track days in 2018, but I plan on going out in 2019 after I make a huge upgrade to the car.

Here's what might be my favorite session to date (i'm on the left side)

Look like you was borderline on the tires the whole time out there. The down shift up-set the balance of the car in the corner.

That track looks very slippery. Is that sand on it?

Yeah it was very slippery. Dust covered some parts of the racing line and on top of that they just slurry coated it too. Outside air temp was also 105 degrees
