What do you use for flat stoppers? I had started it over Christmas but, only for a couple of minutes. Will the regular gt350 tires do that over time?
I use something called flat stoppers, do a quick google search and youll find them. It's not bad if the car doesn't set long but if it does sometimes it's crazy bad with flat spots. Feel like Fred Flintstone driving down the road on boulders. The flat stoppers keeps them perfect.

I went auto cross racing yesterday. Finally had the chance to push the car like I've been wanting to do since mid October. I seriously cannot wait to go to an open track event.
Did it feel pretty nimble? Good for auto-crossing?

I know you didn't ask me but the car feels nimble for its size and weight. For a really tight track the tall first gear and high redline allows 1st to be used and it gets off the corners really quickly. I'm not a skilled autocrosser but on the short course my stock 350 had the 8th fastest overall time out of a field of about 50 including the cars shod with slicks.:D

For larger tracks 2nd gear is needed and takes a little bit of the speed out of exiting slow turns as the engine is not in the power band but is still very fun. Track mode and 9secs to fully turn off AdvanceTrak.

Awesome. My only autocross experience was in my 98 M3, so I can't wait to get my GT350 and feel how different it is :)

Looked at it covered today. Smells good in there with all those Bounce sheets under the hood and around the car.

It felt really nice IMHO. The car felt very planted that's for damn sure. I was too afraid to push the car even half of how hard I pushed it at first because I just knew I'd lose control. It definitely handles well. I'm not a pro by any means, but man!
