I was happy, it stayed quite cool! While it takes a half hour on the high way on a hot day to really get warm, in the 9 minutes it takes to get to the top of the mountain the oil never got over 217 and the heads stayed cool too. It did quite well but unfortunately the car needs a gear it doesn’t have, 2.5, so the long straight stretch it just<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Never finds its sweet spot. Still, I pushed it a bit and it was quite OK with that.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I did come to a conclusion about the Nexen’s, they are an OK tire, that’s it.

The Vred’s on the Notch did really well.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Keith<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue;mso-ligatures:none'>Topnotch Restorations</span><span style='color:blue;mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue;mso-ligatures:none'><a href="mailto:topnotch@nycap.rr.com"><span style='color:blue'>topnotch@nycap.rr.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue;mso-ligatures:none'><a href="http://www.topnotchresto.com"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.topnotchresto.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue;mso-ligatures:none'>71 Squareback “Hothe”<br>65 Notchback “El Baja Rojo”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue;mso-ligatures:none'>93 RX7 “Redstur”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue;mso-ligatures:none'>13 Subaru Outback "Blendin"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
