Yeah, these cars are terrible at gliding: lightweight, and relatively poor aero.

Since the pulse is so efficient, anything you can do to improve the glide makes a HUGE difference in overall numbers. LRR tires and as many aero mods as you (or your s/o) can stand.

Hope your compression test goes well this weekend.
