Mike,

Looks lovely, Well the car anyway.

It'a silver Pius right?  Evil

Seriously, a day on a track in anything is wonderful, but in a fast tied down car it's magical.

I am envious!

I'd take it to mean good handling. Like a well sorted made for the track kind of car.

Tied down = Well matched springs and damper (for conventional suspension).  Often used to express handling without the floating feeling. Ultimate grip may be higher and ride may be sacrificed. But more importantly handling is more predictable so more fun can be had and the limits of adhesion explored and crossed whilst control is retained.

Road testers use the term and I've seen it applied to BMW M4 and Ford Fiesta ST recently.

mike - that's what I was thinking just had never heard it before.  Wink

654 - I know what good handling vs comfort is, trust me.  Smiley
