Rep Power: 396 
I live in the Springs. There used to be one gas station where I could get 93 octane, but they stopped providing that a few years ago.
Even spinning tires in 1st and 2nd with PSM on would be bad. My '500 crank hp car' doesn't do that.
At least not in a straight line....
Now getting out of shape coming out of a corner is another story.

Rep Power: 396 Imola is a few minutes from me- we went up to Woodland Park last weekend and escorted me back after my tires and ignition key/lights issues (thanks again btw). Imolafem is pretty quick but could use some UMW attention- perhaps will join us next "Mexico Springs" run for some comparisons.
My tires were at least 50% when I put them back on a month ago, the many tuning runs really did a number on them, I had no idea how worn they really were, IM guessing the more they wore, the easier to spin them at speed, Im positive I can still spin them, just not as easily. Something to add to the mental checklist before going out for drives.
This also gave me an idea I'll share on RME.

Ah clutch failure! That sucks. My car had its clutch replaced before I got it, but now I'm finding they did not do the slave cylinder....so its at the shop for that.....and tires...and a new brake switch....
I'd rather not burn through clutches or tires at light speed...Will need to get some race wheels and race rubber next year.
