The car can handle far better than I can utilize it. I would come into some corners real hot and go " oh shit gonna spin out" and the car would just bite, blip the throttle and it would pull it right through the turn. I was keeping up/ beating some cars that had suspension/brake work in my stock car. They came up and were like " is that thing stock? You were flying!" My first lap out I looked like an idiot though, I couldn't get the lines down and I have never been on a road course before. Well an instructor was nice enough to ride with me for a session and help me get it down, then I rode with him for a half a session to see his lines/braking/accelerating. It was a tremendous ammount of help. On my last session I was doing much better. There is an almost 1/4 mile straight that I was topping at about 80 mph the first few sessions. On the last session I was hitting 100 mph through the straight away.

You're almost making me tingle right now.... I KNEW this car was gonna be a beast on a course. Awesome, simply awesome. We gotta get more people on the road racing course...

I knew you would love it. There would have to be somthing seriously wrong if you dont like driving an RL around a road coarse. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I can wait. Maybe this weekend auto-x will help a little. I thought it would be a good idea to take a little break..........what was I thinking I havent raced in a month.
