Yeah, could go faster as I am not taking turn 1 well and I did let off a little in the esses... car had a little swaying motion ( this is an Xi that is still raised) that made me a little uncomfortable as I am not used to it.

Might have to put on the KW coilovers which the Xi crowd says really tightens the car up. I don't think the car ( Xi ) is as bad as they say, but the Xi doesn't even have the sport suspension that the i's have.

Still a lot a fun though.........
Pics are available at tracktime photos. The speedo is pretty optimistic once you start hitting triple digits. My speedo said I was doing ~145, but my measured speed max was 130 on the back straight. Here is a pic of me
