Seriously? Is that part of Al Oppenheiser saying they aren't putting too much of the patch down in the rear?

"The reason (we stretched the same sized zl1 front tire on an 11" rear wheel) is that this is a track car. And for track you don't necessarily want to push that tire patch down by having downforce or too much grip in the back. It's contrary to trying to fix the understeer. We wanted to loosen up the slip and allow you to ring this thing out because in competitive mode this thing is a track car."

Hey Doglife, that's great news. I can't wait to hear "pick it up tomorrow" lol

[snickerdoodle]

Hey guys. I just found out my car was built on the 13th of the november instead of the 5th. I guess I was part of this run!

[scubadoo7]

That must have been frustrating for you. Anyhow, welcome to the group!

I'm still debating if I should wait until tomorrow to pick it up when it stops raining . On the other hand I really want it at my house and the wife is going out of town tomorrow so she won't be able to see it until Saturday. It's about a 30 mile drive from the dealership. I can take the back roads and just drive carefully and slow.
