Tbh i was expecting better, traction was still a issue with road tyre cars launching at the same rate as me. I think the problem is getting heat in to them.

I was never really impressed with launching on r888's on the road, even when they were warm. I guess it's not what they are designed for and the sidewalks are too stiff

Backs of the sills were fooked, started to separate/split at the lower seam, scuttle was fooked, and it was a 4 door with lots of morsels, it had to die :(
