Yeah, that's what I hear. How are the S-04's at the limit? Good feedback?

Im kind of a newbie when it comes to driving at the limit but I felt so. Very progressive breakaway. In my first two season of autocross I never spun and definitely dont have race drivier reaction skills lol. They did have some audible feedback too

I find this thread boring.

You can definitely feel the difference between the MPSS and my winter tires. The steering was lighter with the winter tires, and the whole car seems to float, rather than stick with them on. Stomping the pedal with the summer tires came with confidence and a sense of bite against the asphalt. I know some people described the acceleration as sluggish when switching to a sticky setup, but I wouldn't call it that. It just feels like the car doesn't want to budge or give up anything. It's inspired, though.

Next time someone asks me about my career, I'll just show them this.

Let me guess... The monsters are bigger, dumber and angrier and there's more of them.
The robots are also bigger and have bigger weapons.
Plus there's an extra-big robot with extra-big weapons and that one saves the world single-handed.
If I'm right, it'll be a great movie :-)

Exactly what I'm hoping for. I could care less about any semblance of story in these types of movies. Same reason I've watched all the Transformers, I really enjoy watching giant robots and monsters beat the shit out of each other if the CGI is well done

I thought my work schedule sucked until I found out what this poor fella is working with...

2 weeks days, 2 weeks swing, 2 weeks graveyard.

I'll stop complaining about my 12 hour nights now..
