We are so far behind on this project. We should have good progress in the next week to 10 days. Too many R & D projects and too many race weekends. Wait. That sounds like a complaint We are very fortunate to be this busy

'13 MY is bringing the RS. Looks like a nice package. Chevy lowered it 10mm out the door. Pete, they watch you too closely.

It is worse than that. John Buttermore is a friend of mine.

Enjoyed those links. It's fun to throw any car around a track. What tires are they putting on the sonic that Mr. Buttermore destroyed in 4 laps?

John is a steady state high G driver. That is very hard on tires with an OEM suspension. I have occasionally done some spirited driving with my Sonic. It has 10K on it. I rotated the tires twice. I guess I should have rotated them three times. The fronts were corded on the inner and out shoulders and almost worn through in the centers. Talking to John, we don't think it is a tire issue
