Out of all the cars I drove this weekend, I like Chu's the best, lol. (NEVER thought I'd say that).

When I first drove Chu's car at an autox about 3 years ago the term 'un-drivable' was thrown around, a lot, and not just by me. Since that time he's done a lot of work on the drivability and balance of the car and it really shows. Throttle steering thru the lightbulb with the SD was effortless. I didn't even realize till after our session the car wasn't on the stock MAF. There was no bucking/surging at all.

The brakes felt amazing too. It only took a couple turns till I was totally confident in the braking ability of the car, which with the DTC pads is really good. IIWC I wouldn't change a thing on the car and just keep on driving it. I would love to get back behind the wheel of that thing again with some street tires on it.

School is in session, bishes. This is session one of day 2 of the warm tire domination. The shaking is from the flat spots on my tires.

^Monti isn't happening for anyone who didn't run the last NARRA/RTA event! I think I will try out an RTA event in October...

I need to plan to Doah' later this season. Looking forward to WGI! I think Chau signed up for green, so we can share cars if the 240 isn't running by then!
