Is everyone as excited as I am to see Loren drive a car with over 400HP, but drive it like a Miata? I know I am excited so he can see how tough it is squeezing that beast through the tiny courses :-P

I'm just hoping your car doesn't have any absurdly ill habits that are going to send me into the grass! I can handle power as long as THE CAR can handle the power.

Should be good! Car is tuned pretty well, and has a new set of tires. Turn of the "Nanny-Meter" (Traction and Advance-Trak) and you'll be killin it!

Oh swell. NOW it's the car that has to handle "The Power", aka Loren, to keep him off the grass :rolling:

Doug, you know what I'm talking about. You've driven ill-handling cars that don't know what to do with the amount of power that they have. I know you have.

I've been pretty impressed with the new generation of Mustangs, though. They get around okay.

If you left-foot brake and right-foot brake, does it stop the car twice as fast?

I'm sure the car can handle the power, but doesn't sound like you're so sure. :-D

I just remember watching Paul spin through the finish a few months ago for no apparent reason. But, I think he's done some suspension work since then, and I know he's put a good set of tires under it.

The new tires should help a lot. Ford has stuffed 662hp in this same chassis, the chassis can handle it just fine.

The RS3s are finally broken in (They still had the molding compound on them at the last event :D), and the suspension is dialed as far as I can tell. It should be a fun day for sure!

I spun because I didn't roll onto to the gas. The car has so much torque is broke loose when I stomped it coming out of that little turn towards the finish. This was also on old Summitomo tires though.

It will likely be better than you think it will be Loren. Much better with the new tires. The old oem's were far more fun, though.
They would get that rear end wiggling like Ron Rice at a twerking contest.

Drew, you have to let Loren drive your car. Come to think of it, has anyone else driven your car ? :headscratch:

Wondering if you're hiding something.... :-D You should let me drive your car for my birthday run. :snicker:
