Looks really good Ken. I was wondering how the grill would lookand as it turns out, it looks great. The wheels look good on it aswell. Just needs a slight drop and you will be rockin.

You mean another drop - LOL I've already put the Eibach pro-kit on it ... I think what you're seeing is the difference between the stock 225-50 wheel and the 225-45 I went with for the track ... but yeah, you're right - could go even lower. Unfortunately Eibach doesn't make the Sportline kit for Fusion - so my only option would be coil-overs.
Sticky - hell ya - picks up everything. Hopefully the track won't be too dirty.

The rationale they give us is that this is a "school" and not a competition ... and additionally there are people who don't want their cars shown on the internet ...
BTW - they are in fact a registered school and I get a tax receipt and everything ... based on my tax bracket, my $430 "course" only cost me $215 once I factor the tax benefit.
It seems kinda silly to me but they are really adamant about it and mention it often ... otherwise I would have used my new Vado HD for some in-car video ... but they say they'll kick anyone out who's caught taking video ... also the same for using any kind of timing equipment or g-force etc.

Instructors were excellent ... and they are all fast (we get 4 sessions with them in their car) ... the Fusion was frankly amazing ... the suspension worked great and the brakes were better than I could have hoped for ... having said that I think I was a bit under-tired - I should have gone for 235s instead of 225s.
I was really down on power compared to the other cars of course, but I was honestly faster than most in the corners - so with the passing rules they way they are I actually passed a lot of cars (if you catch up to a car in the corners, they must let you pass on the straight, even if they are faster in the straight) ... I definitely suprised a lot of the guys there and I had a lot of visitors checking out the car.

I was kidding. Thought you might be able to figure out that the paint we use goes through a booth at over 180 Celcius.
That might cause some plastics to melt.
Might.
