I'm going next year for sure, loving the aston martin, never seen that car in green before.

Let me know next year and I will clear my day for this event.

I'm not completely sure what the second sentence means. For the dyno, should the car go into 2nd and then downshift to first?

Sorry, what I meant to say was this: were they having any problems with torque steer?

Torque steer occurs on FWD vehicles, have you ever noticed when you floor it and the car downshifts, the wheel has a tendency to jerk one way or the other? This was a problem for me when I got the car dyno'ed, the wheels were almost wanting to jump off the rollers (not literally, but the dyno guy had to white-knuckle the steering wheel straight ahead in my case)

It didnt look like he was having any problems. But I def notice the torque steer on the road.
