I'd bet there is at least 2/10ths of a second left between you and the left side cones. In other words, you should be closer to the cones to reduce times. There were a few in there that were good...

600 - 500 = 100 (The biggest area of non-WOT)

820 - 100 = 720 (Full run minus above area)

720/820 = 87.8% and that's assuming WOT every other part of the run, which is clearly not the case. ...

They may have used the old insurance trick. Leave the "rated" horsepower low, but let the real horsepower fly off unbridled (pun intended).

I have a clunk in my car, but it isn't suspension.


The TPMS in my right front wheel separated from the valve stem, so at low speeds, it falls on the wheel and makes a rather raucous clunk.

Whiteline (and other) camber bolts come in pairs though.
