Any suggestions from anyone?

I've had Bridgestone S03's on my NSX for a couple of years, great tires, very very sticky however you'll be lucky to get 10k miles out of a set. Ride quality drops as the tires wear. I had Michelin Pilots as well on an M3, great tires lasted about 15k a set. Good in the rain.

You are complaining about getting wipped by a z06 and you traded in your tt for a clk55?

Doesn't make much sense.

Tim,
I'm sorry the Twin was not the car for you.
I live in L.A. too. Years ago, a friend of mine asked how can I drive my 914-6 on the street , when it rides SO RUFF. Now the 914-6 has a full cage for POC and I still enjoy it on the streets.
My response to my friend years ago was.... do you want a car that you can run cpmpetitively at the track or do you want to drive a Cad. around the track. Point is .. if you want to play you gotta pay. I also have an 03 GT2 during the Oct. build
schedual. When I do get the car in Dec./ Jan. I know what I'm getting.
I drive a Honda CRV .. and only play withthe toys when I feel up to it.

Regards,
peter
