Every time I switch between the S and the Jeep I have the same issue. I go around some corner way too fast and almost tip the thing over before realizing that I need to slow down. I also get really frustrated with the transmission being programmed for fuel economy and always shifting up as early as possible while hesitating to downshift for more go. In the S, there's no computer and I like that.

Kinda funny having two lowered cars with wheels that are stick, never really have to adapt to a different driving style.

It's a good problem to have, always feels like you're driving a new car.

I raced my friend's C63 AMG with SLS cams and Rennsport something or other chip whatever, on a closed piece of road we found (with my ITR). Pretty even until 100mph. At which point, he ran off.

BRB. Buying a C63 AMG.

2 questions:

1. Will the $10k I give you for the ITR be enough to buy said Mercedes?

2. Is this what was happening inside the ITR??

1.) No, afraid not.

2.) In any of life's great races...there's always SOME danger to a manifold. Isn't there?

Had to buy new tires - rears were down to cords...

I'm a terrible owner. Went ahead and bought fronts too, the RS3's up there have been on for 4 rear sets and still have some life on them. Since they changed the compound though and they're old I want to get new rubber.

Then going to send off the rear suspension to get inspected/rebuilt.
