Yeah Dave, it's George.
I've got Eagle F-1's on the car. I think you're right...I should definitely get out and test the limits of the car to know what to expect in the future. I'm going to Summit Point for a Friday at the Track on March 19th and I think it would be an excellent idea to get out and test my cars limits before going racing out there. By the way, it should be a lot of fun and I'm going up with a couple friends. Anyone interested in going? I'd love to run against another 7...

I spun mine in rush hour traffic ing the rain getting on the 5 here in Cali. Unfortunatly someone could't stop and hit me. I think I went around like 2 or 3 times.
In the end it wasn't my fault because by the time he hit me I was under control.
Therefore he paid the $7K to gett my Fd on the road again.
Another time i was drifting under and over pass and almost hit the wall. I stopped about a foot fromt eh wall. It was a nice drift though.

Yeah, the new turbos move more efficiently...it's noticable. Unfortunately, I am spiking pretty bad due to the frigid temps this time of year and I haven't been able to floor it to really give them a hard run. I'll keep you posted...

On my commute there is a curved downhill feeder ramp to storrow drive. Last spring when the road was damp I hit a 'mat' of grass clippings in the middle of the turn and the back gradually started to step out. I tried to correct but it was useless; I might as well have been on solid ice. I did a 270 as I merged into rush hour traffic. Thank god I managed to keep the car in my lane. It must have looked like I was on a railroad turn table. Merging into traffic backwards is not an experience I ever want to repeat.
