I was astonished that I could actually push the car this hard after 40min practice not having driven it ever before. Talk about confidence inspiring! VERY impressed with Good Years. Stock pads are good too IMO. Easy to modulate. This track is killer on brakes yet I got almost no fade. Not to say a bit more aggressive compound wouldn't be better and as such I have already ordered Reysbestos. But again, very impressed with the tires! I have a set of stock size Cup2 ready, will see how they do pace and longevity wise, but they better wow me as they cost twice as much...We shall see. Anyhow, fantastic car!
PS Sorry no vids, as I don't do social media except for blogs. Will post some pix in the future tho.
EDIT: and another thing: I just LOVE rev match. Mind you it took a few laps to unlearn the urge to blip lol! But the ability to downshift just before turn in without worrying about effing it up and locking up the rears is superb. And this old dog will embrace this little tech invention with pleasure! |
Ahh, ok
I also think the rev match works flawlessly just when you think you blip enough it sometimes makes up for the difference which is really nice and very needed on a car with this amount of torque IMO. If you blip perfectly that's fine since it won't interfere anything it's just added benefit not a compromise

This car really does impress the heck out of me. 305/325 NT01's incoming!!!

Good choice with good amount of camber, they wear out pretty evenly. These are the fronts after 3 events they look pretty good IMO, rears are in even better shape than these
I also found a great deal on a pair of new 325/30/19 NT01s ordered and received another set of rear tires I will also need to order some 305 30 19s for front as a spare. Used slicks are on the way also (295 680 19" F and 305 690 19" R Pirelli DHs) so I will get a chance to compare them against to my current 305/325s.
