You dont get any sliding/skidding when braking?

Can you imagine some cop watching this F go by? He'd have to stop at the laundry on the way home to get his pants cleaned!

In the wet; a little but thats why i slow down and brake earlier.. around corners it deff kicks out if your not carefull, you have to drive according to conditions out there. Every track is different dry and wet, i locked up abs two or three times braking to late when it was wet but its all part of tracking your car. Im also running R compound tires and Carbotech race brake pads with dot 5.1 racing brake fluid at the track which make an unbelievable difference from any street set up on the planet... I ran the car with street pads and 180 tread wear tires one day before i was like F this and coughed up the money for a full blown track day set up... worth every peney, makes the car last much longer and brings a new meaning to full potental Running Carbotech Xp12 in the front, Xp10 in the back with Toyo Proxy888 235/35/19 265/30/19 its killin it.

WOW!! That is unreal!!...Sounds like an exotic but unique in its own way.

Do you have any clips on how it sounds from inside the car? I'd like to hear that!
