That's a great time, but man he has to work that steering wheel hard to get it to go where he wants. Not my kind of car. I had lunch with 2 guys at Mosport who both have and ACR Extreme, one from Ontario and one from California, and both said it's terrible to drive on the street, and both bought trailers and pick-up trucks to move it from home to track. Front tire wear is a total killer, 1-2 days max, usually can't finish a full day or the full second day because tires are wearing out. So a super fast track queen, but not far off a race car really.

Same experience for owners local to me.

 

BUT, I can fairly easily go through a set of front tires (Pirelli slicks) in a day (@ -3.5* camber) on my CBA.
