From what I was told, the way they set up the track, they didn't use the straight aways. It was loaded with turns. If your suspension is not adjustable to the limits of the track, you could be at a distinct disadvantage. Not saying this course layout was bad, but the big power cars would probably be at a disadvantage unless they had a way to adjust the power down. More power is worse in many situations. In addition, it will be interesting to see the article. I hope they explain what each car has suspension wise. I wonder now if they weighed the cars? I see so many people dropping 20K, 30K and more and then spending 5K or less on there suspension. Even if they spent half half what they did on the power mods, the car won't be balanced.

 

Wow. You guys have found some "haters".

Just got back from 996TT Shootout - What a blast..

 

Here was my response on Rennlist:

Mark (Radical Racer) I don't know who Cort was referring to but that is a pretty big blanket statement you make. Cort gave me feedback and basically said we need to smooth out the boost because it is hard to drive on the track. It comes on rather suddenly like the old 930's. As far as handling he said my car was great and brakes were also great.

 

Ummmm... actually in front of several witnesses, Cort said my car handled very well and that the suspension was setup very nicely. He even asked me who set it up.

He told me the trickiest part of my car was modulating all the power, which he described as "explosive." His comment right after the run on the track was that my car was a lot of fun.

When asked about the disadvantage of my car, he said it was the fact that I had no downforce in the front due to a heavily damaged front lip.
