Well I took the ride to Zdayz, almost 20 hours round trip, plus a couple of runs through the Dragon , and the Skyway. All I have to say is wow, those roads are amazing, the views are just breath taking. The car ran like a champ! 6.5 hours was my longest run with out a stop. She ran like a dream at 78mph. I have found that my tires are rubbing a little on aggressive turns. So I am assuming its from the added weight up front and the wider tires as well. I know Sharif is running this set up but with coilovers , so he is probably got a stiffer set up with less body roll then me. I showed sharif where it was rubbing, I will have to get coilovers down the road. I do know that better brakes is a must for those roads. I also had to turn my SRM off half way through the dragon. 2nd gear downshift would just surge in hard hair turn pins. Almost like it was accelerating when I let out the clutch. I noticed it more on down hill hair pins. Then on level hard down shifts to second it was like the RPM's could have been another 500 higher. It would jerk as soon as I let out the clutch. So I just ran without the SRM for the rest of the trip. I am not sure if the tranny was just to hot and it was messing up?? Who knows. I can see if you are running those roads a tranny cooler would come into play. But other than that the car pulled hard and handled well. I would encourage everybody to come down atleast one year... that was hella fun!!!
