real_supersnake Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 CSM 16H0033 LIC Plate # 339LYX (Indiana) Starting Odo: 4595 Ending Odo: 5656 90% hwy, 10% city Approx 85 road course miles on Indy Speedway Rented out of Nashville Airport, 01-05 Sept 2016 Had as much fun as possible in an auto transmission. Has a selector switch for drive modes, normal, sport, track, and wet weather. The engine auto-revs when it down shifts in sport or track mode. Had Michelin Pilot AS3 (all season) tires. The right side stripe just below the trunk lid had some tears in it and the drivers side washer fluid hose came loose when trying to operate the wipers. The hood was very heavy and twisted under its own weight when using the prop rod. It shook and shivered very badly when driving above 70mph. Highly recommend hood pins and prop rods.

ITHERTZ66 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) I wonder why they didn't use hood pins when it was always part of the legacy? Seems necessary by this description! Perhaps the short hoods used today that don't extend to the front of the car are the reason. Edited September 7, 2016 by ITHERTZ66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great meeting you and watching the heat vapors rise off the car after you flogged it. Every time I was in the stands I saw that Hertz car fly past and dreaming of my 06 doing the same. Happy that you made the trip and had SO MUCH FUN. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
