I was in florida over the easter vacation, in Orlando and i took a small ride to melbourne and let me tell you. I had rented out gt stang for exotic auto works. And i was drilling a buc thirty most of the way down. I was so straight with long curves that i took at full speeds. I was loving it.

NEVER overlook your tire pressures. You could be all alone and it doesn't mean you are driving safe.

MAX PSI = 41

Safe tire pressure = (look below)

130mph-100mph=30mph

+1 PSI per 6mph over 100mph

30mph/6mph=5

(MAX PSI)-5=36

So for your case...cold tire pressures should be no less than 32 but no more than 36 PSI.

Drive safe

On a side note...I never realized that resetting the ECU could improve your car that much. How long does it take to learn your driving habbits? Reason why I ask is that I mostly drive like a granny...but occasionally rev it up once in a while (mostly at night).

I dont want to go through the trouble of reseting the ECU, redlining it, wasting gas/time to have it learn an aggressive style of driving then have it go back to granny mode because that's what I sepnd most of my time in.
