I can remember as a kid riding in my uncles, now my dads, 64 Plymouth Sport Fury sliding all over the back seat as they cornered under power. A lot of fun when you don’t have to worry about controlling the car, lol.

If that’s the only problem with the Rivi I’d say you’re winning!

That's fantastic, Charlie! Glad your car is working out great, as well.

I'm thinking AMG or M seats might fit right at home in the car and provide better support.

Ok, I’ll recal it to keep bypass open, limit blade opening to ~30%, shift earlier, and lockup converter in all gears to get 20mpg for you...... I did not realize hypermiling was the goal....

Or leave it in it’s current tire-frying mode and you can have so much more fun!
