I had no problems whatsoever. I guess with an SRT you have less need because of the larger rotors/pads and more piston calipers, but there has to be a reason Doc upgraded his brakes

Also had a lengthy discussion with him last night on the telephone. I think we have pretty similar viewpoints on performance and how to drive through the twisties. He has not driven a 6 speed XF and I have not driven an SRT, so within the next few weeks, we are going to try each other's out and see what the conclusions are, should be interesting.....

Chased him through 10+ times, had him chase me through a few times too, and went on a run or two with him. I am not saying we were regularly above 130 in the hell bender, but if we were....

Come Fall, I would love to follow you through Frank, see what that little topless wonder will do
Tom, Doc, and I always have a good time. And we never talk about who was fastest (unless Doc is breaking Tom's ***** LMAO)

It is fun to verbally joust about who is "fastest" but most runs thru the Dragon end up behind an old bass boat or a well intentioned Volvo keeping us all legal. HP is a small factor in the Perma grin experience thru the twisties.
Frankly, I'm not that fast and technicaly, my driving style beats my poor little car like it was a rented mule. But I have a blast doing it with good friends.
Can't wait for the Fall Dragon runs.
