Though, at some point, it would be nice to be able to lift off of the throttle without worrying which end of the car is going to enter the turn first. It sounds like a simple tire change goes a long way to fixing it; so that's great news.

Thanks, man. Maybe you'll actually "see" me out there given the morning/afternoon splits and missed events.

Well, uh, first run with the rears cold and them being v1s, um, well, you know.

It's funny. After Danny's first run in the car, he was like, "Where's the loose? Why everyone says it's so loose? It pushes so much," and he was dead serious. He has 255 RS3 v2s on 17x8 wheels. he put in the rear Konis and a bigger rear bar.
