I know CSG Mike was hitting 133mph at one point entering Turn 1 when he caught a draft. Even so, car did not want to fish its way to the wall. Brakes, again, are simply amazing. Two-piston floating caliper with a much beefier brake pad up front and possibly a larger Master cylinder. Those are the two things I wish the S2k was a little better at right now: aero and brakes. Power in the S2k >> 200hp BRZ/FR-S.
I can't wait until we can start developing the car further. The potential is very high for this car.

David, how steep is the banking at ACS? When I had my AP2 out on CMS (Charlotte Motor Speedway) I didn't notice any lack of rear end stability through turns 3 and 4 (115-120 mph). Stock vehicle on Z1SSs. Banking at that track is 24°.
