After trying that I slowed my entry and accelerated hard at the apex and she railed around the corner. It seems to like a little finesse and lots of throttle on exit. Once I had that figured out it was a different car. It still needs a stiffer rear sway bar but that is it besides ditching the RFT's.
How was the DCT and how deep you go with the gears in the tight turns?

FYI - I got hooked on TransAM back in the late 60's and early 70's, Just a punk kid in those days, but I was crazy for the Penske-Donahue Javlein/AMXs. I've got a couple of Javelins/AMX now. A high school friend that I mechanic'd for had a Boss 302s that was pretty good on the street. Lucky I'm still alive.
