Wow!
I took it up on the west end of skyline just now and for those who aren't familiar with this road in the west hills of Portland, Oregon, it is filled with twisty turns some down to 20mph. For the most part that 20mph turn can now be taken at 40+mph. There was one turn that did a 180 degree turn and the car did let go on that one but I was surprised at how easy it came on letting go and how predictable it was. Recovery was simple, just eased up on the egas and she quickly got the line back. I checked the speedo and in my 5 speed I was in 3rd most of the time doing on average around 60-70mph and I know it can do those turns even faster.
Needless to say the Pilot Sports heated up nicely and has anyone noticed that with the top down when your tires heat up they change the sound they make. Hard to describe but it seemed to me that they are sticking and had that flowing sound of gooey rubber in the corners. No meltage but I did have to check.
My friend has an '04 Guards Red GT3 and we are going out this Sunday at 3pm for a few hours of "road work". Should be fun and I can compare the "new" box against a race car...at least in the corners since my 220hp can't touch his 380hp. I'll try to remember the camera and post some pics.
