Thanks Radar! That’s exactly how I feel.

Sunday morning twisties with some friends...

Days like today are why my cars are never completely "put away" for the winter. Last Sunday I had six inches of snow in my driveway. Today we had shorts and tee shirt weather with clear/dry roads!

When I first saw this picture and saw you write "my cars" I thought this was a picture of your personal collection in some remote mountain hide-away estate. Wouldn't that be something?

That's the beauty of altitude - here at sea level, started raining last week and won't stop until April.

​​​​​​​But on the plus side, you get lots more horsepower, particularly on NA cars!

Yes, that is nice.

I pretty much stopped driving the BMW too in this weather, particularly difficult to get it to grab.

^ I like the 996 in that photo next to your 991... nice stance with those spoilers front and rear.

I used my French to English translator and nothing came up for 'sopped.'

Had a DSC V3 Controller installed on my 991.1 TTS cab yesterday. While I've only had a chance to test for about 50 miles including some rough pavement and expansion joint jolts, it is a more compliant ride in Normal mode, and Sport mode is also less harsh at low speeds. Sport mode does seem to stiffen things up when cornering at higher speeds, with minimal body roll.

Overall, the car feels much more planted and less susceptible to chassis upset, and a noticeably more comfortable ride. A lot of folks think the DSC only offers track benefits, and while it certainly does that, there are significant street benefits.

I've had DSCs on 2 previous C7 Corvettes, but those those had magnetic selective ride control (MSRC) shocks coupled with drive modes. The DSC completely transformed those cars.

PASM is more old school, but I like that it is not coupled to Normal and Sport modes. However Sport + does automatically put the shocks in Sport mode. In the C7, the shock settings were all coupled to drive modes.

Sweet, nothing like a black 991 TTS w/ the yellow PCCB calipers.
