    Did a couple of laps and ran 1:38.xxx. I know there's a lot of time to shave off, so I can't wait to try again.

      Figured some little stuff out and got this:

      1:35.925
      I know there's more time and I can see where it is, but I'm finding the car/track combo unpleasant somehow...

            Can I ask you a question? What is your opinion of the Evora's manners?

                    damn you and that time, thats going to be hard to beat. I dont like the evora stock, feels like too much understeer, not enough rear slip, and when the rear slips... it slips.

                      My thoughts exactly...Understeer on one corner then TokyoDorifto the next, and I'm not even close to you guys (1:36.6xx)!

                      To me, it seems like tire pressures make a much stronger impact on the Evora than they did on the E30 M3.

                        I haven't had a chance to better my time since I posted it, but I tinkered with tire psi afterwards for a few. I intend on throwing down some times tonight or tomorrow, not that they'll be any better, HAHA.

                          Yeah, I really don't like driving it because it's so hard to predict every corner. I know I can carry more speed into x corner, but I don't know if it'll bite or throw me off...kinda frustrating.

                          P.S. I have no idea where I'm going to find a whole damn second.

                            This car is a little schizophrenic biotch!

                            I think I'm loosing most of my time the little left/right after 1 and the left after the S's- can't seem to get a consistent line/reaction through there.

                            I've tried various tire pressure combos, haven't found something that gives a resemblance of grip and consistency. What has been working for others?

                            Still working, best so far... 1:38.027

                              I think I've settled on 30.5/29.0, but I have the same problem.
