IMO maybe it was a 306 or 308 that gives more cr and top end, did you ever tear apart the engine???

I think the air quality and air temp have alot to do with times. There are some hot days where most cars run weak, and those cool nights where they run like the mother f'er.

yea.. i agree.... but some of our track days were in summer... and some in fall/winter and car was still pretty consistant! it is in central florida so temperature indec is about 50-60degrees at about 13 ft above sea level so i am sure that helps a little... but for the summer runs... well i guess hot track and tires help haha!!! god i loved that car... hope this new one will be as good or better!
