I am running like probably just under -4 degrees in the rear because I have to.
DJ, I think Auto-x is where this car shine's unless I go full retard on a build this car will be hard to be a decent track car. I want to step down to a 7.5 and 225 so I can compete in STF because that's where it gets fun, will be very competitive, and I think is a prefect place for this car. But, I love the set up I have now and the way it looks. I don't think it is too low for Auto-x as long as the course isn't terrible I just need a bit better suspension set up. I appreciate the offer I just don't think it is worth it if I'm still in FSP right now. I'll get killed I think. Unless I can somehow mod my car to fit FSP than maybe. Also, money is an issue.
I mean I'll think about it for sure. I guess you need seat time regardless and to learn even if you are getting destroyed.
:thumbup: I am not suggesting road racing for that car, maybe HPDEs if you are up to it, but in college/a couple years post college, autox is a lot cheaper. Pro Solos and Shootouts are just autocrosses that have some twists (and level of competition is higher). I am just suggesting on coming up and talking to some guys who have experience.
