Cool Happy Thanksgiving...any good run with yr C32?

Yap...I had a wonderful Thanksgiving by driving my car from LA to SJose. Kill every thing on the road.
One thing amazed me after all these countless kill....avg mpg 23.9mpg!!
I did 140mph run -1
I did 120mph run - 3~4 times
I did 100mph run -10+ times
Avg ~85mph.

I have to thank everyone who try to run with me between 5 FWY, 152FWY and 101 FWY today.

I had a nice run with a Dinan M3 on the way up to Va... only downside was that at a shade over 160 a platic flap came undone and made the car very light in the front, that ended that run

what flap...

came undone?? How unstable did it become? Was it part of the inner wheel assembly?

SO SORRY about the barage of Q's. I'm curious because on mine (STOCK) I've noticed that there is very very little room left between the wheel rubber & the plastic inner wheel fender -- there is actually been some rubbing!

TIA

I had hit a truck tire earlier and when I checked for damage I guess I missed the plastic piece in the wheel well. It made a pretty significant impact on the car when it caught air...
