Wicked tunes the cars to about 1500hp

Road and Track said the Wicked 996TT would do 0-60 in just under 2 seconds with a 6 second 1/4 mile

'natural twist' and **** poor setup can be one in the same. If you had a car capable of carrying the front wheels but you had to steer it that hard to keep it straight, then you're a moron and had no business being on the track endangering everyone else.

I've seen plenty of leaf spring cars go wheels up and have no problem going straight and keeping it from twisting the car in pieces. It's amazing what a little shock and sway bar tuning will do.


I swear message boards turn into the tyranny of the stupid sometimes.

cool pic though.
Thanks! The chassis is not twisting, it has a full cage in addition to subframe connectors. The whole car is torquing over on the solid rear axle. I solved the wacky launch angle by putting an air bag in the right rear spring and switching to a 1" OD solid rear antiroll bar. Here's the "after" pic:



Here's another "before" pic that shows what I'm talking about.

Bill,
Your ride height might be a too high and shock settings too soft, That gives you the feeling of the front lifting do to increase of weight transfer. Does it dive when when you hit hit the brakes hard?
PS
Love the Wine!

Nope, never heard of it. I ran the car only 2 or 3 times a year, and some years not at all if it was seriously broken. I only ran on test 'n' tune days, not the Wed night deal.
