Pictures in Race Mode!!

No idea on track times, i havent gotten a track data keeper yet but i will soon. It was my first track day so i was really focusing on how my setup is performing, tuning, and limitations of the car. as far as aero, i could definitely use more rear downforce for tracks like road atl (higher speed tracks) but what i have does do a pretty sufficient job for my current level. Talk to SOCK if anyone is interested in my front/rear aero setup. Overall with stock brakes and tires i was very impressed with how the car performed..cant wait to see the improvement when i throw some race spec tires on her though.

More aero then "SOCKS" setup? I figured the duckbill setup would grab a lot of air.

the aero I have is socks aero that he designed and runs and I love it. if im not mistaken though, he uses a gt350 rear wing for higher speed courses. its been awhile since ive been on here so I don't know whats changed but I don't think you would be disappointed by any means if you went with his designs. However the best down force, for the rear anyway, would probably be what "Brent Dalton" is running on his. Just be aware that will be a HUGE price difference from what sock designed. :cheers:

Yes I race with Aaron at the Optima Events. I like all his stuff, just hasn't helped him beat me yet ;)

that's funny lol. like I said I think it is all very functional but on the back straight of road atl at around 130-135 I definitely would have liked to have been more planted. Im still new at this so a lot of that im sure probably came from the stock tires as well, given that the back straight im referring to has a slight bend towards the end along with a hard braking zone going downhill. all in all im very pleased with his setup, especially when considering the price.

 

[S550Smoke]

just to clarify, Im pretty sure it was closer to right around 130. I doubt I touched 135. not trying to exaggerate or give false info. the car was definitely out performing my current level of driving skill so I was cutting myself off at those higher speeds.

 

[apex15stangPP]

Wait till you get in the 160 range!! It's alittle floaty ;)

 

[Optimum Performance]

Floaty, try 130 at Palmer on stock suspension, no aero on a downhill straightaway that bends to the right into an uphill 90 left. It's real hairy hugging concrete when the car is moving around under you.

 

[S550Smoke]

160...wow yea I would imagine so! is it bad that my feet get tingly just thinking about this lol

 

[S550Smoke]

shes a great car but I would probably not have been very comfy at 130 on stock suspension especially going downhill

Loveing the photos. You all have some beautiful cars and tracks!

It gets very narrow at speed LOL. I spoke to instructors with prepped cars that said they lift, self preservation and not wrecking a street car won out.

Launched off a bump, a bit..! :eyebulge:



Edit: nice 3 pic series

Coming out of a braking zone entering a left (Turn 3W)

Hitting the bump's biggest rise with right side

Race line ftw

Two more

The car is dialed in especially after all of the Steeda suspension mods
