You're right - the performance when you're actually moving is well up-there and you can surprise folk in some quite quick machinery. There's a guy around our city with a supercharged Mercedes coupe that won't come near me any more after he embarrassed himself 3 times in a row 'cos he just couldn't believe I'd left him behind...
Or how about the guy in the Holden HSV Ute that went wide on a bend and got wobbly as I was accelerating away from him... well, what do you do when someone's up your exhaust pipe? ;)
I used those wheel alignment specs to have another wheel alignment done - after feeling that something wasn't right after the one the Dealer organised after a Service - and it turned out I was right, the left front was out by 3 degrees. Pretty bad show from via a Dealer no? So much for "protecting your investment".
Still need to get them to explain how thay used a quarter a tank of petrol doing a wheel alignment...
Anyway, it drives like my car again: it drives like he car I bought, with stacks of grip. Took it up my favourite mountain road yesterday evening and had an absolute blast. I'm running Bridgestone Grid 2s and they're pretty sticky, so it doesn't suffer much in the way of wheelspin, except on EXTREMELY tight hairpins, and even then it's only a tiny tweet. It's also possible to pull away from a standing start pretty rapidly without confidence-losing snaking around. The downside is that I'm up for a new set of front tyres after 15,000km...
Most of the wear is on the inside edge - any suggestions?
Them's the breaks - grip or durability. I'll go for grip.
The adaptive learning has mostly caught up with my driving again after the Service 'wipe-clean' too.
Happy Vigging guys!
