Yea, real fun.. I have one from today where she really lost it and then recovered it.. the passenger was a little shakey afterwards.. lol

Penskes were worth every friggen cent.. And the car rides nicer as a bonus. We ended up ditching the rear bar and dialing in a some more rebound.. voila it was like a diff car. The body rolls and moves but the suspension stays planted. The power from the 454 comes on hard but smooth and is easily managable. I'm sure Mary or Dave could explain it better.. I was working most of the day and not able to have much wheel time.

We ran the 68 through our slalom test.. we crushed the previous best time of a car on street tires.. hell, we weren't far off Milt's car on the race tires.

Happy camper tonight even if I'm having some wierd t-stat problem..
