Re: Can I run 18
Jay, What I am trying to do is reduce oversteer. Archer will be doing the tuning, and to me putting a unique puzzle together (I call it tuning) is part of the fun of racing...which initially will be against the clock. It's the added dimension beyond racing school (done that) and seat time. I want to learn more about the suspension tuning component of racing now, and am looking at what some other guys are doing like the H-Venom. You advice is good for most, but for me, 'leave well enough alone,' that is a nonstarter. I am not satisfied with the stock performance. I could have just bought an '06 Coupe and got better handling, presumably, but that takes the fun out of it for me. I like the challenge, but I also like the input of as many others as I can get, am not married to a particular plan. You know, the prototypes in racing always blow away the factory stock racers, so why would anyone say that factory spec is the best setup? It's less hassle to just go with the factory setup, but so is it less hassle to just keep your car in 3rd gear and go around the track than to shift, or using an automatic versus a manual. I like to try to think outside the box. I think that is what guys like Archer or [******] do and I admire that ingenuity. Scientists say that bees CANNOT fly, so theory has to be tempered with experience. Sometimes its trial and error to get the best setup. I guess that is my mindset, if it makes sense. I would have just bought another Porsche or Ferrari if I wanted the fasted lap times I can get right out of the box. Oh yea, drove that 911 for 13 years and the Ferrari for 5. Got boring. Bottom line for me, it gets boring just going around the track looking to shave tenths off my time with driver's input. I desire the added challenge of tuning, although I am a novice at it. Also,I just love talking cars, so be careful asking me to explain myself, unless you want an earful...LOL
