Yeah, that's the only Achilles of the A10. Amazing transmission in every other way, but it is a Torque Converter...gonna overheat the fluid eventually. Had that happen to a few friends who have the 1LE and ZL1 with A10s at Sebring.
I was out there on May 12 & 13. Good weather and good times all around. Delta was great and bumped me to the front on the return flight to JFK. I am running with the MOE HPDE group for the rest of the season, except for the middle of June.
I'm thankful my own car is a stick, but driving the auto on track when it wasn't melting down was fantastic.
Yeah, we're gonna need to see some video, including @jonnywaffles11's geologic expedition.
#41 was my favorite of the 3 cars I abused over 2 days. started out in one with a sunroof and once I put on a helmet I didn't fit (PSA for anyone 6ft or taller -try and grab a non sunroof car), they switched me to 41 after that which I used until the afternoon of the 2nd day where I got switched out to #44 which had standard seats. Not sure what I did to #41 but on one of the hot laps I noticed the steering wheel was off by a decent amount. I was definitely the slow car in front for @Matt27 and others in my group
. props to the guys that ran impressive times in base seats, coming from the sport seats I was amazed at how much I was flying around in the base seats, it definitely tripped me up a bit.
Like Neil Armstrong, I too took home some rocks from my journey into new environments.
Similar to Neil, but maybe you stepped on the throttle while he stepped on the moon. The end result was the same as you both discovered rocks.
No gravel for me, but I did get called out for glowing rotors…coming in too hot on turn 3!!
Here are two of Mr. Waffles' adventures. The first was a spin and the second was a good save. My avoidance maneuvers unfortunately mean they're not 100% in view. These are from day 2. His day 1 adventure was as the last car in line so it only exists in his footage.

I have been to NJMP once to watch an event but never ran on the track. I may have to do that at some point in the future though to improve my skills from a baseline of "nada".
Yup, way wide on the first corner apex and then probably added throttle or too much steering into the turn = spin
? Did you not watch the video? I parked ON the apex. Not sure if I could really get any closer if I tried.
Y'all out there tryna set lap times while my man's clearly working on his drift skills.
Anyone that watches Throttle House knows the fastest way around a track is sideways with smoking tires.
That Camaro have a 41 on it?
