Here you go @TeeLew :
I tend to agree. The 550's are all about the same weight, weight distribution, wheelbase/track, etc. I think tire choice and alignment really make more of a difference (taking out driver skill).
Last weekend I went to a new-to-me track. Saturday morning was 3 sessions that were wet, damp, and then dry. I learned the track on my 275 square summer tires.
In all the years I have been running there, I find that information false. Early on a long time ago, I was fortunate enough to speak with a michelin tire engineer who was part of the cup 2 testing at Daytona. He gave me some very good advice.
You may want to read your posts again and see how condescending you come across. Other theads with you in it, same thing. People like you don't last very long around here.
So far, based on the incorrect advice you've been giving so far, I think its the opposite.
Which one is it? You don't seem to get it that the GT350s and GT500s have different track alignment settings for the track. Each is different than the other and the version of each has separate settings. Completely different from the street settings. They are very good starting points for anyone to use and then tweak based upon how the car and the tire performs.
Class dude.
Everything was fine until you showed up, Jack. Now tell us what makes you a Daytona expert?
Newsflash, the engineers and professional racecar drivers at FP, during the cars development, came up with track alignment settings for each version of the car. Who said anything about factory alignment? I think part of the problem is that you don't read very well. You jumped into this post claiming I was "condescending". Then you somehow come up with using a factory alignment on a track? You might want to start over and re-read how you came up with the crap you did.
If you don't like the Shelby-guy schtick, then don't hang around here. You would definately be doing the community a service by not doing so. Your other thread here seems to have the same attitude by you, counterproductive, almost like you have an axe to grind.
Then don't use it.
So you don't even know what your hot pressures are? I promise you 100% that the tires do not rise the same amount. It might be "close enough" in your world. It's not in mine. Yours are going to have the right hand side pressures come in high. There's a lot more energy put into the right hand tires than the left. This is not a debate.
No, you don't and I'm not posting a resume. I've obviously spent plenty of time at that track.
Are you going to not be my friend?
Sure I do. 36 left side and 37 right front and 38 right rear due to the load imposed on the right side. They consistently reach those pressures and are tweaked as the day progresses.
So you say. Sure.
Why? Are you lonely?
If you hate the Shelby types around here, then I invite you to do the same as in your other post, get lost. All of your posts here that I can see are arrogant, condescending and wrong.
Put off by them is a better description and not even the majority...just the special few. My posts have very good information; you didn't like your toes getting stepped on because you have some sort of Daytona complex.
It's just reality. I'm not restarting a fight. I didn't say anyone was stupid.
