Dave, you can contact me at the last minute and still get in, this I can promise!
There are a few advantages of being the Chairperson.

And Dave, Eric and I have been working on this route for almost a month, I have put in over 700 miles on the S selecting the right roads and putting them together in a route that works for the Knapp Vineyards Sporting Roadster Tour.

 

So dougie.. im FINALLY going to throw those cobalt race pads on

Any tips on beding them in?

 

Go right by the directions on the box.
The 1st 4 to 6 slow downs should be gentle brake force
The 2nd 4 to 6 slow downs should be firm
I think there is a good down period between 1st and 2nd 4 to 6 slow downs
Af the end of the slow downs before the 15 minute cool down drive I give the pads one more really, really firm stop, makimg sure you never actually stop the car so the rotors stick to the pads.
I also let them cool for 24 hours before I use tem on the track.
Good luck and have a ball!

 

I thought I remembered you telling me they didn't come with bed in instructions.

 

Ohhhh Dooooooouuuuug...

The definition of hot...

 

Drooooooool.

 

I've been waiting and waiting for Alfa to return to our shores...it has been promised before, so I won't hold my breath this time either. Fiat usually runs into problems getting them fitted to U.S. emissions and/or safety standards. (Those bumpers, for example, will probably need to be re-designed to be U.S. legal, which will be a shame.)

Too bad the lease on my 05 S2K runs out before the Alfas are expected to arrive!

 

HOLY SHIT!!!

 

Yeeees, the shit is indeed holy in that car.

 

I get Road & Track delivered to my house, and they compared the Z4 M Coupe to the Cayman, and flat out prefered the Cayman and almost all the performance numbers beat out the M Coupe, well except for the huge price difference.

I was really hoping the M Coupe would kick the P-car's ass...
