Thanks! Yea riding the limiter a bit. That's with 8600 limit too. My excuse generator wants to say DCT would've brought me in range for the win, but really I just need more power and I'll be well into the next gears.

Car is feeling perfect. Next step is either boost or expensive suspenders. Probably will be better served by boost.

Also, is it just me or are the A052 extremely sensitive to car setup vs other tires (cause - soft sidewall?)? I did my shakedown the day before with the same settings on some ratty pirelli scrubs and the car was a bit loose but not awful, but first session of GTA on the A052 was like wow this car is unstable as hell. I think my initial words to my friend were "the car feels like it's on marshmallows!" Had to back off my aggressive rear bar setting and then it was magic.

PS you guys have to come up here for the Ridge and the vintage Pacific Raceways. Great tracks. ORP is supposed to be a legendary driver's track as well, but it's out in the sticks.
