This trainer really knew his stuff. Ex pro racecar driver like all of them, but very into the 'why' Jag did this or that and fantastic in explaining it in a way we could understand. The yellow transfer case reacts in 300 milliseconds. At the track on fake ice, we couldn't see it happen. Even filming in high speed camera mode, it was difficult to see. Much faster than an eye blink.
He also confirmed rumors l had heard for years. The big one was that the 550 hp V8 was mechanically a computer programmed detuned 650 hp engine.

Its a $14k package but I've been doing my customers a huge disservice without knowing it. When asked about the ceramic carbon brakes and forged lightweight wheels, I didnt realize that under normal useage, they are not replaced for years. Only a pad change after around two years or so. The service techs there (and he talked to them all) had never replaced rotors that were ceramic carbon due to wear. Over 5 years it may pay for itself. When cold they out stop an R's iron rotors that are warmed up
