You were exactly right Jay. I couldn't contain my smile for the first 12 runs or so. Not because of the LC however.

It's amazing to have to refrain from inducing on throttle oversteer. Coming from ST* I may have to forget the way I drove and the car set up I used. There are some parallels but the car is very, very different.

First few runs were extremly loose.
Reduce rear air pressure, still loose
Remove some toe out, still loose
Lower ride height, front and rear, by 1/2" We were going to do this, do 3 runs and the add - rear camber. Well unfortunately the only set of tires, the used tires, are now corded. TNT over.

The only snafu was Jason coming back with the steering wheel 180* off. I say the only thing it could be is it slipped in the u-joint. I crawled under the car and both the upper and lower bolts were gone from the u-joint. Luckily I brought a hardware box and had 2 bolts that worked.

Other than that we have a very good baseline and although having all day tomorrow to run it would be extremely useful. We'll just have to deal with it and adjust as we can.

The car performed amazingly overall and I couldn't be more please.
One word............................weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee Bring on a dry Lincoln!
