First off: No pics. Damn camera... >
Anyways...finally got out and did it, running the Monte. No question, only a late-90's Volvo 760 was bigger than me. The temps warmed into the low-60's and the track was dry. Average pace for the afternoon course was 64.5s. I could only eek out a 69.7s time. That thing is counter-intuitive...it pitches. It wallows. It breaks traction at inopportune times. Not only is Trac Control undefeatable entirely, but the monitoring computer for the half-shafts kept stepping in to reduce my fun. The beast even once made a beeline for a 4-ft. deep concrete culvert at the end of the track.
Did I have fun? Yes. I even won the unofficial burnout contest at my first launch. ;D
Will I take S_G up on her offer to dual-drive her WRX next time? Oh, HELL yes.
