I agree with both of you. Kurts car has little to no suspension work done. Anything north of 500 RWHP even on slicks at the track with near stock or stock suspension is not going to get a decent launch (unless your user name is "Ponyhntr").

That being stated, it has been proven over and over again my car does much better on the street than it does at the track. Honestly, I'd rather have it do better on the street anyways since that is where it is mostly enjoyed. It does "okay" at the track, but does not run its potential. A big factor is the fact I have yet to find any skinnies to run up front and am forced to run my 18's on the front I know there are skinnies out there I could buy, but for what little I would actually use them, and the fact I would have to buy high dollar ones that would clear my Baer brakes, I just can't see it worth the $.

Not unless your willing just to do a brake swap just for a track day Ben, so you can run skinnies up front. Then just swap your brakes back when you get home. I don't see it being a big problem.

Holy cow! Why didn't I think of that? That would be a piece of cake given that the Baer brakes have been fabricated with their own custom bracketry, and the stock setup would require a **** ton of work to put back on. Not to pick on you man (as I leave that usually for Cobb), but that is a retarded idea.

Easiest way would just be to wait until I find someone's bogarts or equivilant I could borrow for a day.
