Well there is your problem lol! Your tires are so far out of their operating range you are likely running the risk of cracking them, get a 2nd set of PSAS4s or DWS6s or something if you are going to be out in the cold man!

Oof, welcome to the hell the rest of us deal with haha

Every time I go somewhere that doesn’t have winter I wonder how I can actually be a ‘car guy’ where I can’t drive all my cars for half the year and when I do the roads are so busted that it’s not even fun.

Be safe my man. You’ve got a beast on your hands

Yeah we were in the 80s last week then it hit 50s this week with a strong cold front that made it go from 56* to 14* in a few hours. Its still only 22* but the winds so strong that the reel feel is like 4* and this is super odd for Texas. I mean our weather is odd anyway but the last couple winters have been.... special. Snow in Waco dont happen but it did last year and it had snow flurries yesterday. I dont think the globe is warming. lol

Insane. I saw snow ACCUMULATED in socal. Actual temp around -30° in Montana. Crazy. Chicago always gets a few days at least each winter with sub zero so no one there was surprised haha

Its called climate change now because the warming is drawing the polar vortex south into moderate climate areas /sciencerant

China made it snow in Texas

So jealous of you ...... you have a well thought about, put together, performance and beauty S8 out there....... 10.5 would be an absolutely goal and perfect sleeper to break so many hearts on the road..... Be safe !!

Doing some more tweeking and went a little too much on target boost while clamping down the wastegates to ebb that over boost and saw a 34.1 target last night! LOL Was trying for a 31 target and getting the gates to stop that 35 spike. Looks like we got tthat corrected and also managed to get the launch boost doubled from 4.8 to 9.8 which really helped launch this thing. I forgot my Draggy but I bet its doing a 2.6 or maybe a 2.5 0-60 now. Car is everything I wanted it to be now. Just thrilled!
