OK< Bryan (Heitcotter, current ES National champ and also a very good photographer!) found a better shot in his files to illustrate RX8 body roll. Still my car, still on the grippy Atwater concrete, but this time from the front...

It wasn't until we started overtaking the Corvettes that started the course before us when he seemed to wake up.

I'm going to miss this car.
We put the stock shocks back on Saturday. It feels so soft, sloppy, and unresponsive...and it looks like a monster truck with the stock shocks' increased ride height and short sidewall tires (225/40 Hankook RS2).

Something about going from a Z to an RX8 that does not work. To bad they will only get faster.
I am sure much faster. btw are those the wheels and tires from the Z on there?

Yep, kinda looked BSP sticking out the extra 15mm, but no rubbing that I know of. BTW it was their old set with 120+ runs on it which explains the result. Won't be long till their running away from me, i'm just hoping to tag along in the draft.
