[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 46850, member: 1318"] Good morning BH76, I've always found this to be the oddest experience with these cars. I think that it must be the traction control with the car which I have had everyone support using at all times. I've heeded that advice. Plus Manny recommended some sticky tires 1 cm wider on the rear end so they seem to hook up pretty solidly. Yes, it was an investment to make, the mods, but like having bought the car to start with, a great move and providing another level of enjoyment. I just have to always tell myself to be responsible and to choose carefully my moments of pushing things. The car does accelerate so rapidly that it catches you off guard, the sense of speed outside of looking at it in the HUD is actually very hard to gauge as the car is so stable. I mean with a stock top end of 198, you often wonder what these cars are designed at as they must be made for mandling much greater speeds than they are capable of when they leave the factory. Again the overriding experience is how the build did not change the daily driver driveability of the car. I still can take it to get my mail and go for my runs. There is an autocross on Saturday 200 km away that I am thinking of entering, an opportunity to get together with car nuts and also puish the car in a legal setting. Sadly due to insurance reasons we can't have riders in the cars any more while competing.......my son was crushed when I told him last night. On the plus side I'm getting experience with mounting a camera in the car!! Cheers, Garry [/QUOTE]
