6 Oz. out of balance??? That would indicateither the wheel is defective/damaged, or more likely that tire is pretty badly out of round(probably the seam is crap). Does it still vibrate? Stiffer suspension should help set the car pre turn- I think the stock suspension is great for the track, but it is definitely too rubbery.

Did I mention I am seriously jealous?

the steering vibration was fixed (one tire was 6 oz !!! out of balance), couple other things too - still a few buzzez and rattles to chase down...

figured out the video mount, will do a test clip sometime soon.

passing is totally effortless!! this is awesome, even while staying under 5500 rpm for break-in. even 5th gear, 55-to-100 happens before you can notice, and totally effortless. this car can get you in serious trouble ;) handling is good but a tad nervous as the car transitions into a turn and takes a half-second to settle. might get some swaybars, as it worked nicely for the 325 that had a similar issue. pilot sports held up really well even in some pouring rain on the coast, no hydroplaning up to 70 mph or so.

looking forward to SIR, need to put on more miles...
