SSC springs, poly swaybar bushings, 245-40-18, 2 DZ101's and 2 Sumitomo HTR Z-III's...I'm waiting for these to wear out and I'm stepping up to 255's in the DZ101's all the way around. On my second set of laps I hit the corner at 130 and exited with it buried...It was really stable but the high banks don't tell you too much about the handling characteristics of the car.

I just hit 140 this weekend in my GXP, I hadn't hit the rev limiter in 3rd yet but I'm sure it was close. God I would love to be on a track like that.
