Default FLOOR MATS

I just want to remind everyone that it is recommended that the driver remove the floor mat before spirited driving on the dragon. Scca solo makes you do it. So why not do it for your own safety. Of course. I kinda go bananas when I drive.

The OEM floor mats hook in, does that make a difference? They stay exactly where they were placed. I've always removed mine for the track, never for spirited driving... Never noticed any difference or had any problems either way.

No floor mat = weight saving.

^put a zip tie at the top of the post and it will never move.

if you want to get fancy you can get a reusable zip tie so you can "remove"it haha

I've had that happen to me, but ever since that happened I made sure to clear that every time I drive my car now.
