    I really don't know any fast times or anything for that track I've never been there. Did it push at all in the turns? I'd just think it'd have the tendency to oversteer for being so big but my girlfriends old E39 BMW handled pretty well so who knows.

    You should bring it out to Road Atlanta.

    at that point with stock suspension it oversteered a little bit but the body roll was immense. on turn 5 it is an increasing radius and i had the back end step out and was about to go into the grass but saved it. my friend had the "OH SHIT!" handle grasped.

    TGPR is a 1.40 mile track.

    i want to take it on road atlanta. when is a good time to go?

    im getting a feeling that stainless brake lines may need to come into play soon also.

    Well there is an event this weekend but you better register like right now. lol

    I'd recommend starting with an SCCA PDX it's only $100 for 40 minutes and 40 minutes at Road Atlanta is more than enough to wear you out.
