I had brakes issue's on this track, I lost brake pressure in the hardest braking zone after the long straight. The pedal went to the floor I thought I was going to rear end the car in front of me, it was not fun, it was quite scary actually. When your brakes go out there is no warning all on the sudden pedal is mushy. I must've got the fulid to the boiling point, a little fluid came out of the bled valve on the front calipers. I was using Motul brake fluid, Stop Tech street pads, and stock lines. I just upgraded to SS lines and had the brakes bled. I will stick with more technical tracks this car is to damn heavy it really takes a toll on the whole braking system.

Robi's, not to happy with the on track performance really. It's way too soft and has way too body much roll.

Im suprised the X even hit 140! I thought the gearing was way short and would barely hit that. I havent pushed mine yet. It feels like Im going faster then I really am, especially compared to my Talon

140 can be hit fairly easily if you can find somewhere with a good long straight (track only, of course ). I've done 152 and still had plenty of gear to go.

Wow Im suprised! So 5th gear must be pretty tall then? So just 3rd and 4th are really short because 1st and 2nd feel about right and you can do 60 before hitting 3rd gear. Weird.
