2nd gear still has some leverage vs a higher gear, so seems plausible that a combination of that, you not expecting it, and a dash of dramatic reaction influenced your reaction? Try it again and report back :cool:

I don't think any available mode can address hydroplane issues since it's mostly a function of tires and the PS4S isn't really a great heavy rain tire.

Coolant dripping indicates a leak, not a bleed issue. I suppose it could be remnants from the repair, but that would be odd after a few miles of drive time.

I'll put my name in the hat! 1. Alanera | 24' CT5-V Blackwing, Black Raven 2. Rajiv (so 650) | '23 4BW Sebring IMSA, Maverick Noir Frost 3. Jon | '24 5BW Black Diamond Tricoat

Yeah, we don't want to break the laws legislated by the house of manual super sedan.

Before brake-by-wire, you could easily tell you had the wrong fluid based on pedal feel. I never really thought of Laguna as notoriously hard on brakes in the context of most track driving and the lower overall speeds, but I suppose T2 and T11 would probably specify some Castrol SRF :cool:

If the 1,500 mile break-in is more for the rear diff than the LT4, I think I'm going to prioritize optimal operating parameters for the glorious V8 over all else. Rear diff be dammed! 😉

The inventory bar code that you never removed from the steering column cowl?

Mine is, at least the entire front. She doesn't see many miles. The paint does an amazing job of hiding blemishes, or would if there were any.

Great info! It's an iconic V heritage color and deserves it's rarity status. I'd post a picture, but it would be totally redundant. :cool:

As a data point, zero issues here and I stop by a couple times a day. Windows 11 machine, starlink internet.

Whatever the percentage difference in viscosity is, I'm just curious how higher viscosity helps specifically in high lateral g-force scenarios. I get that higher viscosity might be beneficial under the general extreme conditions of track work. If the idea is better film strength under...

Count me among the ones wondering how a slight increase in viscosity changes the physics of hot oil in the sump during high corner loads.

That does seem low by modern standards, but I don't have a 4. The fact that it stays at a consistent, lower temp is interesting. Is the temp controlled purely by a plan 'ol thermostat or are there other mechanisms, I wonder.

I wonder how much this has to do with the L87 debacle? By that I mean, regular people are going to be annoyed that they have to buy Supercar for their T-Ball mobility device (now that Dexos R is the recommendation). I'm sticking with Supercar.
