FWIW, my nearly stock 318ti managed to get beat by a whole 0.5 seconds on a 40 second coarse by a Foxbody mustang at the last local auto-X. I suppose I should mention that foxbody mustang driver claimed to be well experienced...and the car was on Hoosier A6s...with a fully built suspension...and a built motor...did I mention it was also supercharged? I actually had him beat until his very last run but I couldn't best my previous runs.
These cars can hold their own. If I could get some front negative camber on the car, I KNOW it would make a HUGE difference as I'm only using about 1/3 of the tire under heavy corners as it is cooking the outside edge of the RS-3s.
Like I said above, driver is about all that matters. That car should have beat me by several seconds...but it didn't. Just food for thought. |
