As posted on the CC forums : Got home this afternoon after a long weekend up in Sydney. Headed up on Saturday at 7am. Went to Autosalon both days and was really awesome this year. Got in free cause work deals with the major sponsors for it so that was a plus.

Fewer cars than last year but quality has definately increased. Was well set out this year too, but lacking beatboxing/breakdancing that I really enjoyed last year. Next year will play host to modified late-model motorcycles, plus ATV's and the like, also motocross as well; which should make it a bit different for next year.

Saw Erica's beast and highly approve, is one nice subie. Also watched Stacey's DirtGarage 32 GTR on the Dyno.

As for the dyno, Nasa's black Supra built by Millenium Motorsport took out 1st in the dyno comp, pulling 610.2 rwkw. BOOBE Supra pulled 503 rwkw. A decent 355 stroker VR ute with a T51R pulled 544 rwkw. Daniel's gold ESP racing Supra managed about 470rwkw at best, he popped an intercooler pipe off on one of his first runs but had it fixed shortly after.

Took about 350 pictures and videos and will try to post them up soon.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I mean I agree. I've seemingly never had issues and I have RS4's in the rain, but I drive pretty slow in the rain, and I commute around on the street and pretty much never push it. But it's not like you're going to uncontrollably slide off the street with them in the rain. At least here in Aus. And I say this before I drive to Tassie in Winter. AS above, the term "Semi" is a bit of a misnomer. The ContiSportContact7 is also a "Semi" or a "UHP" tyre. It's the same category as an AD09 in any case.

      These are not semis. None of the tyres in that comparo are semis. They are UHP tyres. Perfectly streetable. I'm on my second set of AD09, after using a couple of sets of AD08R. On the street. Every day. I get 15-20 thousand km out of them, which is perfectly acceptable. They are a really nice tyre to drive on. I have few, if any, complaints.

      You'd hope, if it came from ACS, that it wouldn't be that.

      Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
