At that time.. later Ryan of DSE nailed one run faster with a 1:02.8 -- when Nathan heard this he said he wanted the car back since he knew there was more in it.. I said one set of tires a weekend was all I could afford! lol

Nathan loved the car.. One comment was "this doesn't drive like an old car!" (I told him there's not much old left in it)... He also said he kept pushing harder thinking "it's going to break.. it's going to break" but it never did and he was truly shocked. He LOVED the power and how he could flat foot whenever he wanted.

Then he got into a wierd driver speak deal.. something about how when the car started to push he would just mash the gas and the back would plant down and then he would turn the wheel (to the direction he needed to go).. let off the gas a bit and the car would pivot in that direction. I'm not a good enough driver to really get what he was explaining. With a few more laps he knows it could go faster so I'm taking that as a big fat compliment.

Nathan and Ryan show what REALLY great drivers can do with really good cars.
