Awesome pics of a great looking car. Surpised to see right front tire in the air in 6th picture with the mods you have done...

Actually that just shows you how tight the suspension is. Which is a good thing when on a track. You'll notice the 3 wheel action in a lot of on track pictures.

Hmmm.. you may be right. Usually on the track you see the older cars with the inside front tire in the air, didn't realize that meant older cars had tighter suspensions, always thought excessive roll. Maybe at the speeds you are driving even the best cars behave that way...

I am no expert and this caused me to do some reading/research on the inside front tire lift issue - learned a lot. Seems concensus is stiff front roll bar and higher than optimum center of gravity are primary contributors on flat track. Some say soften front rollbar to get the tire back on the ground, while others say slght lift shifts additional weight to inside rear wheel helping you accelerate out of the corner faster. Sounds like it is a compromise, like everything else. Guess only the lap times really tell you which approach is best for your driving style and track.

Anyway, love you car and the pictures!

Bob

Awesome! Great camera. Get this suction cup mount from chase cam and put it on the front wind shield under the rear view mirror.works like a charm. you can see it in the photo below.
