I saw I pulled on the straight and you close up after corners ... some suspension work is a must...when will AK be free? should I just go down or do I need an appointment or something?
Lets do that next time with the M3, the key is to keep it at high rev. The understeer issues should be less obvious in the M, but it tail happy
would be fun....

I am sure if you had full blasted on the gas pedal while the Mini overtaking on double white lanes, he would be off a cliff or headon to opposite traffic. 
he was just having some fun,and we are just enjoying our cars amongst this economic gloom.
i was unable to full blast as i don't know the road well, plus i hadn't even put it into S mode,
i shudder to think how the car will be when i get the vortex fitted.
the car shoots to the red line on two hard presses of the pedal.
Our new friend Nelson in his M3 conv is a fan of your car!!!

Stanley - as mentioned 1 school tip for each mod you do, a legit way to get them approved by the wife
next meet 9th Jan??
time to get your next mods boys before the meet, those Brembos are very tempting,
time for the white LCI to get those and come out to play.....

hey dave,
nice run with you....lol
i think the road were just too twisty and lack of long straight for the 335 to take advantage.... On top of that, I was suffering quite a bit understeering issues in those tight turns.
Not sure if you saw it, but I almost lost it at one corner, the car went understeering under braking then I almost got it sideway when i applied 2/3 throttle trying not to let you close up the gap at one turn....fun but scary. I guess some suspension tuning is necessary...
Cheers,
Mike

My DSC was flashing in the first half of the run cos my tyres need time to heat up, once it warmed up, it sticks like hell! (It took awhile to warm up tho) :thumbsdown:

It was under control, it was scray due to the blinded corner and worry of incoming traffic.
The tires were fine and warm, but was suffering from serious understeering, the car need some suspension tuning. It is down to me as well, it is my first time driving this road, need to go there some free time to get familiar with the road.
Cheers,
Mike

its a deal bill. the first mod for me will be the brakes, the stock one is just too soft (relative) and too vague for serious braking. didnt provide me with a lot of confidence going down tai mo shan.
