I'll say!! It was amazing to watch it go around the track.

My concern was the lack of slipper in my optima and not wanting to shred the gearbox. I will see what pinions I have and then look into a couple of 32dp pinions once I know what I have. I saw Rob's lazer going round, but it was more your mid that impressed as it is almost as old as my optima. That isn't to say the others didn't impress, just yours seemed to drive and handle like a modern car, while only a couple of years advance over mine

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...
