After too many poor showings online my B-class Esperante was returned to default today and built back up using the Blooze/Tonka toon. Its still at the standard 54.5/78, and working a lot better on the stock rubber. I'm still using the TKO trans but instead of a 3.89fd, I'm up closer to the 4.10 range. Ran some laps on Sebring Club to test the flat corners and it does well. Not too much wheelspin but I believe the SWR is a touch high for this beast.
I was so impressed with the overall imprivement of this thing I went and defaulted my A-classer as well. The class sorter has it as my fastest A-classer but it pales in comparison to my TVR. I had some fresh baseline numbers with my Cobalt so I tried and tried tomatch it with my higher HP similarly heft Panoz but fell a full 2 seconds short. This car just isn't good on Maple Valley, I should start looking for strengths instead of trying to fix this one. It's so hard to take your own advice sometimes.
I also noticed that I don't have one of these in S-class so perhaps in the future I'll try it on some better tires.
