Wow!

That's all I can say. I just took my car and its new RoW M030 out for a serious drive on some deserted back roads around here.

I did a couple of quick passes to make sure they were empty and then I had some fun.

These are roads that I have driven for almost 10 years in all kinds of cars, including this car with the stock US suspension.

I was just blown away. The RoW M030 is just the perfect suspension for me. Just the right amount of lean and communication with rock solid confidence at triple digit speeds.

My (former) M3 buddies would scoff at this, but I am really convinced I made the right choice in car this time. I can be happy with this for many years. I guess there really is no substitute. I can't even imagine what a GT3 must be like. But I probably won't get there for years. There is so much left to explore with the "humble" C2 and so much driver skill yet to be learned.

Its amazing how well the standard C2 handles that it's difficult to imagine a all-wheel drive Turbo or a GT3. The C2 is lots of fun with just the right amount of rear-wheel kick.
