Default Mission Space - NJ style

For anyone that has been to EPCOT and enjoyed the Mission Space ride... My favorite part is that the Gforce pulls at my jowls (OK I could lose a few pounds).

I found a way to recreate that without going to Florida - just have Raj take you for a ride in his 968 turbo. Wow! talk about "push you back into the seat" acceleration.

Great car Raj - thanks for the ride.

Thanks Shamus, it was my pleasure. The car definitely hauls. Boost is a drug.

The car was blindingly fast before, I can't wait to drive it-get that alignment done, Raj.

Damian, waiting on the shop. I am setup for next week. Should be soon now.
I hate driving it currently. It's very squirly with almost 2 degrees of negative camber in the back and I have brand new Michelin PS2's that I don't want to wear unevenly. It's a handful when the boost gets on and I don't feel very confident because it's all over the road.
