you should see how low the rear is...kinda funny. the suspension makes all kinds of noise, too. Like I told Kevin, if it's gonna break, it'll do it tomorrow. The rear is already twitching more than usual. I forsee at least one, if not two, spins tomorrow. Anyone want a ride?

If you get past the point of no return, keep it planted and please the crowd with a nice smoke show (as long as there are no light poles or people in the way)
I'll be calling you tomorrow. I want details on the smoke show

Man I had so much fun today. Thanks to everyone that helped me. It was really cool to see what the SRT could handle. I have to say I am actually pretty impressed with the handling, I don't think it was all that bad.

JA, how'd you do? I didn't get to see ANY of your runsDealing with my co-dirver's heat exhaustion and other TS bullshi...
I did good. Started with a 62 second run and dropped it to a 55.591 for my last run. Finished 82/188 with the PAX. I think if I didn't screw up on the little dog legs at the end I could have dropped another second. Plus I had a passenger, so that may have slowed me down a smidge.
I can tell you, though, that I <3 my R-compounds.
The car felt really neutral. The more i think about it, the more i realize how much that camber helps in the front. There were some sections when I'd normally let off the throttle, but with the camber I could keep my foot planted and the car would just pull around the corner w/o pushing. The only corner where I had trouble was the Taco Bell corner. I always carried too much speed and my rear end would bounce around the corner. Wayne rode with me and said it may be the rear rebound dampening was too stiff. I tried letting some air out of the tires (fom 45psi to 43psi), and I think it helped a little. Overall, i'm really pleased with it. I just need to figure out why things sound like metal is popping.BigB said:

if anything i would back your camber down just a tad maybey to 1.3 seems like you were still understeering a wee bit from what i could feel in the passenger seat. The metal clunking i couldnt totally hear but my guess would either be the new sway bar mounting points out back or its the new suspension going full droop
