Nice driving Mike, looks like you're able to put the car wherever you want it
How does this car drive compared to your old one?

Awesome drive man, car sounds great. Could feel you getting into some corners pretty hot just sitting on my couch at home... little tail wag at one point, fun stuff!

It's a completely different feel. Closer to the Skyline in feel than the roadster. Utterly predictable. Easy to throttle steer. Unreal grip. My street car is a nasty little thing that likes to go all kinds of directions. I love it, but it's nothing at all like this.. Rock did some SEXY suspension work under this car. (Hey Kevin, can we build this stuff into the street car? LOL)
Although this particular session is a terrible session to watch the driving on. Because while I left the paddock with all tires set at 22psi, and was expecting to come in with everything around 30psi, the right front came in at 8psi. Major issue which lead to the terrible understeer on left turns.. Just picked up a new set for the Mitty, still hoping to hear a yes on the Mitty this week.
