Needs a full transmission flush and tcu update as well as an electrical connector replaced that's under a seat where the sunroof likes to drain when the normal strains are plugged

And you wondered why we tried to talk you out of the jag?

How do you like your Cup?
Naturally-Aspirated:


Or Turbocharged:


For me the first paved part of the 2010 run with the NA Cup is positively orgasmic.

Evening Y'all
I was packing up the car for the trip to Seahawks tonight and in order to be copliant with Md. law I removed all the ammo from the cases that the guns are in. (it's a grey area there) and stuffed it all in my range bag.
I found a pistol in my bag that I forgot I even had. I might just have a problem. Doubt I will be signing up for G.A anytime soon though.

That is a fun track. Lots of sweeping curves, a straight, more long sweeping curves, repeat.

Yeah, it is a nice track I've had a few bikes there and the 944 back when I had it

No real elevation change.

Should be fun in the jag, that bastard is actually quite nimble thank s to adaptive air suspension

It is mostly flat but there are a few modest rises slight downhills. The main thing I remember is it is mostly 3rd & 4th gear curves. It is fun to floor it through a curve in 4th gear.

The straight is about 3/4mile.... the rest is gentle sweeping curves

The cup cars have sequential shifters.

is that like an automatic transmission, but the driver tells it when to shift?

Sequential manual transmission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And they are different (lighter and stronger) than PDK (dual clutch) boxes as well.

My view on V8s (crossplane like a 'Murican V8) is that they are awesome when there are only 2 booming V8s in the race, like ALMS. But when the whole field is 90 degree crank V8s I get annoyed. I couldn't stand a car that made that sound.

I'll take a field of only flat-6's, only inline-6's, or only 12 cylinder engines any day.
