Talk about suspension that works. Pretty amazing IMHO. Makes the high speed corners, when the car is under duress, seem almost easy, when in fact any tiny error at those speeds would be very ugly. And I think those are street tires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

the new stuff does handle insanely well - whenever I am on the track with Porsche Cup cars I am always taken aback when I *think* I went deep and hard into a turn and then they pass me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The car doesn't even look like it is leaning or working at all, instead looks like the driver is on a nice stroll around the track.

Last year I was heading down the straight at the local track and a guy in a World Challenge car rolled right along with me, I hit the brakes, and while my car was squirming to slow down, he just shot right by, hadn't touched the brakes at all, scrubbed speed off with completely stable braking, then proceeded to just drive through the turn faster than I could, and I was on the line (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Freakin' awesome.
