Default I GOTTA Autox!

I got a new set of Dunlop Star Specs (seem right on par with the much more expensive RE-01R). A fresh alignment by Ryan (wayyy awesome)!! The car feels totally new and sticks so well I've scared myself a few times. There's a short tight S-curve on my way out of work. I've gotten up to 42mph steady going through it without the tail starting to slip...yesterday I went around at 46mph...and that was not the limit! I don't know where the limit is on my car anymore!!

Ryan did a kick ass job on the alignment. I was definitely running too much negative camber at the rear. I wasn't getting to use all the tire. So now using all the tire, the grip is stunning. I have body roll. Folks...I have 550lb springs all around, a huge Comptech adj front swaybar on full stiff and I have have body roll! I bet I can pull 1g on a skid pad now...on street tires mind you.

So...I have to find the limit again.

There's a CFL event in Palm Bay, but it is tomorrow, and I have to work some tomorrow. Besides that one, the next autox is a loong way off.

But I'm thinking of hitting the Buccaneer event at Roebling in Savannah on Oct 19. I'd go up on Saturday, and stay the night in Pooler. Anyone interested? (yes, I know it's football season)

So it's on a Sunday (the event that is)? Hmmm. I love Roebling.

PM me some info. It'll be tight but I'd like to consider it.

thx

Honestly I believe I'm going to change my mind....Robert I think I'll be joining you at this Auto-X

I am really happy that your pleased with the alignment Robert....I've been trying to get my hands on your gangster S2K for a little over a year.

Tell me when you find the limit through that S-cruve I am very curious about those Z1 StarSpecs once you break them in
