Dock: As one the of sacrificial lambs on the x-73, I am glad you have enjoyed the upgrade as much as I have. You hit the nail on the head when you said, "It rides like a porsche should from the factory". My quote exactly. It is certainly firmer but o what a ride! Congrats and enjoy, I have about 2000 miles on mine and still smile every corner I hit. Fish

Fish - Do you know your front and rear camber settings? Your X73 comments, along with Justin's, really helped in the decision.

Thanks

Dock, Fish....

I just ordered a X73 suspension for my C4S. Hopefully I can post some pics and opinions when I get it installed. X73 on the turbo looks good.

I don't think I can mod the Turbo enough to match my previous high performance "ride". It's hard to match 10g turning capability and mach 2.5 top end. It accelerates pretty well to.

Here I am "throttled back" at 35,000' and 600 mph...

Nice shot Dock. Three tanks. Was the picture taken on a Trans Pac or Trans Atlantic crossing?

Never saw an Eagle at the merge with three tanks, though I wish I had!

No, just a local exercise.

I bet! It'd be an easy target with three tanks on!

Doc,

Did you go from ROW to X73? or Stock to X73??
