Default Car bit me

Granted, I started this altercation. First time on the track with this car. I threw it into a hard right rather ham fistedly figuring when she stepped out i would correct as usual. Man, I had to correct 4 times to get her back in line. I thought I was gonna lose it completely about half way through. I knew the car had a rep for being unforgiving at the limit I just didn't know how unforgiving till I xperienced it. I felt like I was ice skating. At what point do u guys think the stock tires (04) are done? I have about 13K and wondered if that contributed? What suspension work u suggest? SG

13k is alot for the rear tires. Even if you show good tread, they can be shot. Granted you may have gone in too hard for ANY tire (except R-compounds), but I wasn't there so I don't know.

At least you tried finding the limit at the proper place - the track.

Get some new rubber and try, try again.
