The runflats would go away after a couple of laps, but yes, I was really hauling during that time. I have never had a HUD before but I saw 140+ into Big Bend, 120+ almost into the rev limiter down no-name and 1.17g's (when I looked) in West Bend. The brakes felt fine, worked reasonably well, but I had over 2mm of taper in the outside front pads when I got home. As far as compared to a C5Z, well, no disrespect to C5 owners (I had 2 of them) but it is way quicker in every way, no comparison. The motor is terriffic, I used 3rd for most of the track except at the bottom of diving turn I would grab 4th and actually motored by a couple of NASCAR trucks, and was pretty even with a beautifully prepared Mallet 383 CID C5Z on slicks. If it was allowed in T1 without restrictions, it would completely obsolete all of the C5s.
