Josh has my tune dialed in just about perfect so I felt safe driving the car a further distance and I took her to the Cars and Coffee of the Upstate this morning. It is a large, monthly car show here in Greenville in the parking lot of the Michelin Headquarters. As I drove into the show early this morning it was a mass migration of people following me in until I got parked. Just as everyone says, questions, questions, questions. Luckily Ian Henderson was there to give me a break in talking about the car.
Good news is this was my first drive out on the highway. Car is very smooth at 70 MPH (still not pushing it). I have about 75 miles on it testing now and so far nothing has fallen off. I call that a win!
Josh sent me a new tune that I downloaded this morning and tested on the way to the show. I was getting onto I85 and the road was a little damp. I thought I would be OK to do a WOT pull and a data log in second getting on the highway up to redline. I no longer than get onto the throttle and she tried to swap ends on me. Luckily my reaction times are still pretty good after my stroke and the only one scared was probably everyone else around me on the highway. The SL-C handled it well and reacted exactly as I expected and recovered. It felt like I was completely 90 degrees sideways. Nitto NT05's are not wet weather tires and I knew that from experience. Live and learn.
Some pictures at a rare moment that no one was circling the car.

It is dirty, it is raw, but no one seems to care. I was surprised to find about 3 or 4 people who actually knew what it was or had at least heard of the SL-C before.
