I had a rear bumpsteer correction kit in it but I don't know if something's loose or just that there was no stopping the v8's torque-steer. I was running old street tires 225 on the front and 235 on the back...my v6 Fiero (7/31 race) handles much better but has a custom suspension and 255's. My v6 has the better rear bump-steer correction kit which is why I only had understeer against the Miata on the 7/31 race.
with about 300 ft*lbs of torque at 2000rpm, I had no chance of sticking to the pavement on Sunday. Car only weighs about 2750. It has too much power for it's own good. The engine rocked a bit when we pulled out onto the track and it smashed my MAT sensor into the trunk wall. So after that my engine got flooded waiting for all the cars to line up in the infield because the computer thought I was at -40 degrees intake when the connector got knocked off. I told the tow trucks to push me on purpose because I knew it would start eventually.
I didn't take my foot off the gas the whole time I was waiting to race so I wouldn't stall. The crowd seemed to appreciate me.
On the way home, I borrowed a flashlight found the connector, plugged it back in since the housing of the sensor was still 60% intact and drove it fine home.
That's actually the same car I raced you with back in '08 where we were side by side and I punched it coming out of turn 2 and spun all the way from turn 2 into the grass of turn 3, just a different body and interior. That's also the last time it really ran well. From there I upgraded to the Allante intake and Bosch Design 3 injectors. It's definitely making more power. I asked Marco to bring it to Dez's to dyno this week if he can.
Feel free to take it off my hands. I can advise you on any mods you can think of.

Race of the day was the Miata taking out the Porshe. That Porsche owner it the guy who used to own the only Mustang worth a damn ever at Seekonk...
...yes, the red '92 that I beat by 6 inches whom they made me re-race which I then went on to bounce head on off the wall just before the pit exit...

It gives a really good view of what we are looking at in the cockpit.. angled slightly to the left, and what I have to deal with whenever I race Al. Trying to figure out what to do behind his bumper, lol

Your right I do race clean. I don't pin anyone up high or low at the start. The only one I've ever had trouble with was Mark. I think our driving styles clashed. I'm a high driver and he's a low driver. So when I was inside and he was outside, things didn't always turn out so good.

I'm going to attempt to put Corvette 17x9's in the front for next year since right now the front is my limiting factor on the v6 car. I got to calculate the offset...hopefully Corvette rims stick out more than Camaro rims. I definitely don't want them deeper inside my wheelwells...my turn radius is already reduced with the Camaro 16x8's...
