1st and 2nd tend to too short to make it that noticeable. 3rd and 4th can make the car feel like it's dragging in that range.

I'd say that's expected for some of our cars. For some reason it only happens on some and not all. My DISA transition is super obvious and annoying.

We’re on Day 2, and it’s been incredibly enjoyable. My instructor drives a ZHP, so that’s been great to have someone who knows these cars in your ear the whole time. I still have 3 sessions left.

Any chance rebuilding the DISA will help resolve that?

I already did that myself and the benefit was super short lived. The dip came right back again. I've just learned to live with it.

Do you have your DSC turned off? You should have that and traction control off on the track

Any suggestions on how to prevent swirls/scratches from a magnetic car topper? Cracked my ball joint on my truck driving back from Florida and I’m going to fix it this weekend, so unfortunately I’ll be driving pizzas in the ZHP all this week. The car topper has 4 magnetic discs on the corners, would a paper towel work? Need it to still be magnetized properly.
Also not excited about the pizza smell, I’ll be spraying her down with ozium after every shift lol

Yes paper towels would probably work as long as they don't rip. I was thinking felt paper

Oh felt paper is a good call, probably would be less susceptible to tearing over the paper towels too

Cut up a microfiber towel?

I just used painters tape when I had one. Like 3 layers thick lol I wasn't delivering pizza though so I'm not how strong those are. The top layer starts to wear down after awhile, but then I would just add another layer. Then take it off at the end of the week and start over.

That's a great idea. Or, perhaps try PlastiDip in those spots where the magnets touch. They are usually very strong magnets so they should grip through the PD layer. Then just peel off when done. Spray it super thick with many coats so it is more durable.
