Attended a SCCA PDX at Sebring International Speedway yesterday with my '01 9-5 Aero SC 5-spd, used a full tank of 93 octane in less than 100 miles. By far one of the best driving events I have attended with plans to attend more in the future.

Prep was set of Federal RSR 225/45/17 tires and new solid front rotors with Hawk HP Plus pads. (Track spec) Previously installed Koni FSD shocks, new factory springs, SAS swaybar front & rear, and a GS 3" downpipe. Decided to keep the stock tune ECU and forgo the stage 3 as I still have stock pistons. Ambient heat on the track was 95-99def F.

Got four instructed 20 minute sessions of running her at 110% with some other great cars at full race pace (two passing zones). Top speed on the two straights was usually 115mph and hard on the brakes for a hairpin. Couple WRX, a fully built STI, Corvettes, Nissan 350 and 370s, BMW 335, Miatas etc. Have a GoPro video to put together of the last session, will get that posted to the Perf BB.

I usually get 26-29 hwy around 80mph.
