I still think it's a good idea to start out at full soft and work your way up instead of guessing a starting point, then trying to figure out if you want to go up or down.

Plus, you get the "wow, even at full soft these dampers are 10x better than stock" effect.

Mr.onzedge, looking forward to hear reviews from you.

100-400 -- this is here only beacause I got an incredible deal. It is a highly impractical lens as it is very heavy and hard to hold steady over time w/o a monopod.

I have the Tokina 11-16/f2.8, not an expensive lens but the wide angle range is the only on the market, a bit noisy cos it doesn't have motor.

Maybe add it on your next "distracted list"???

Maybe I'll check it out. I am kind of a Canon-only guy, but who knows.

I will rep you when my repping is restored tomorrow.

I agree, that is the only non-nikon lenses I have, cos they don't have 11-16/f2.8

This is one of the pics I shoot when I was in Mexico using it at 11mm with polarized filter




not too bad, eh??

That's ok. If I had your car, I'd still be in the garage tinkering with the TT.

Good morning guys.

I'm at the dealership for an A/C problem. While carving through canyons yesterday near San Antonio with a large group of Z's, something happened to the A/C. I found the issue after the group stopped for a quick cool-down and I noticed a green liquid pooled on top of the front lip. My guess is either a rock punctured it, or a hose, or a hose popped off during the run. Hopefully, the damage isn't extensive. Fingers crossed.

Also, I wanted to thank the guys who left the group to search for me after I lagged so far behind that I disappeared. I don't know your screen names, but I've seen your Z's before. Thank you so much for the encouragement and your help. Good dudes.

Morning guys. Sorry to hear about the damage d. Hope it is something simple and covered under warranty. To address the camera posts I have a HP Photosmart E317 5.9 Megapixels point and shoot. Do hope to get a Go pro motorsports edition. I do have a question for those f you who know go-pro. I plan to track my ZL1 2-3 times a year and run the Tail of Dragon next year. Should I go with the Hero or Hero2. I'm not much of a photo geek and don't know alot about filming or taking pics with it.

If you can afford the difference, go with the Hero 2. It's better in every way.
