The old girl still cuts the mustard!

Went out for a long dive today taking advantage of the Autumn sunshine, great dive, but sure have to watch your rear end with that leafy slime that's all over the roads when you got 360 BHP, weight only a shade over a tonne and have no driver aids, had to catch the rear end a couple of times.

lol check out my latest post - I obviously wasn't quick enough to catch the back end!

Try 580hp and 1100kgs with no traction control along with 335/30 x 18 rears if you want bowel movements.

If you wish to drive your Cerbera at this time of the year then get the ride height back to factory spec and back off the dampers. You will increase the traction substantially.
If you are running Toyo's or similar it is well worth searching out winter tyres, as most high grip semi slick tyres only work at temperatures above 10 degrees, so winter tyres are the way to go.

If you don't want to try these changes just leave your pride and joy in the garage for 5 months!

Thanks guys - you have justified my manual labours at the end of the day at Snetterton yesterday (after my wheel gun broke in the morning), changing back from my Toyo 888 track tyres onto my winter road tyres for the 120 mile journey home. I nearly couldn't be arsed doing it, but you have neatly pointed out why it was the correct decision.

Hi Paul, 580bhp is that from a 4.7 AJP or Chevy LS engine?
I'm running old'ish Falcon tyres on 16 inch rims, road tyres not semi slick, may raise the read height a tad and soften the shocks off a few clicks.

Hi Erich.
The engine is the LS7 in my Ultima GTR.
Both the Ultima and my 4.5 Cerbera are tucked up in the garage for the winter now.
This time of the year I use the Discovery and Merc SL.
