Realistically you shook the car down twice(?) before sending it to vegas. I would really like to see you dial the car in, if you can keep it long enough. What can you do about forward acceleration? Spring change, shock tuning, wider wheels, perhaps a taller tire if it doesn't mess with the ABS......they're never finished.

It is geeky engineer Friday. The graph below is the tractive effort curve from LVMS. Longitudinal acceleration vs vehicle speed.



The data shows I'm accelerating at about 0.85 G at 60 MPH and still pulling 0.6 G at 100 MPH. On the flip side I can generate 1.3 G decel at 120 MPH.

Just fun to look at the data.

On the temperature side this is the data from my last run the air temp was 85 degrees F.



After 15 minutes the water was at around 220 F and the oil was around 270 F. To road race a 900 ish car and to keep it cool is tough. I'm very happy with the data.

Looking at the data the temps are becoming steady state and they will stabilize below peak excursion limits.

Once I get out of the throttle look how fast it cools!
