Granted MB/AMG may not care about long term reliability issues, but one of the instructers didn't seem to be concerned either. He was very excited to be able to take ownership of the red one when AMG was finished with it.

Have fun on the 2nd.

not clear in your post- did you get to do laps in the BS? what configuration of pocono did you guys use?

What pressure? Well, I think 49 front and 42 rear works well for the Corsas and the doll. Higher loads may require higher pressure. For better traction, I think you drop the pressures. AS

No laps on any configuration. Just 0-60 runs and a slalom through pylons.

Ahem....

The 330i has done it at over 50mph. Easy.

ESP... what's that??

Some people don't need that much compensation.

I love my car. And E90s are ugly.
