What kind of tires? Sports suspension? Did you try any of the other fun adjacent roads where you can let her rip more? I guess if it were raining I probably wouldn't have let her rip much. I'm a sissy in the rain. Well, somewhat in the dry too.
The 335d is bone-stock other than the JBD Tuner. Tires are the Conti RFT that came with it. Pretty decent grip when warm; better than I had expected anyway.

We just did the Blueridge Parkway today as well as some back roads between Bryson City, Cherokee, and Franklin, NC.

Really impressed with the "d" overall, must be awesome with Sport or M packages? My wife would prefer the stock suspension for daily driving, as would I.
