I'm going to say it's ALL of that 7/8 tenths from the 40 second course I ran last Sunday running back to back. The watch actually showed 1.4 seconds, but I feel I left half a second out there on the Rivals. I actually hate these new Bridgestone tires, and feel they've fucked up street tire classes, but I'll save most of this rant for my build thread that I'll update this week with video of each tire being run on the same course. All in all, I'm very disappointed on how this car 'drives' on R Comps (yes, I'm calling the RE-71 an R comp). It's just not fun. I feel like I need to make miracles happen to come in with fast times on Rivals and it's an awesome feeling when you get it right. On Bridgestones I feel any swinging **** can put down a fast time.
