<span style="font-weight: bold">MUCH</span> better.

I am very impressed with these tires. I gave `em a full-on whack from a ~5 mph roll (still pumped up to 35 psi., that's where the tire store put `em) and it just <span style="font-style: italic">skittered</span> the tires through 1st and 2nd gear. They're down to 30 now, we'll see how they do next time.

Three things to note:

1) I'm so outt'a practice it's not funny. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] I can't shift this thing quickly enough...by the time I react to the shift point, it's bumping the rev limiter (of course there's the incessant paranoia of scattering the trans that's running through my mind each time I start to yank the shifter). [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

2) I really, <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> can't wait to get that 4.56 screw outt'a the back.

3) Pretty sure the car now needs jet extensions. There's a pronounced momentary lag immediately after the hit now and after each shift that's definitely not an accelerator pump issue or anything like that.

More eventually.
