- Take out about ~100lb, this is easy without compromising creature comforts (exhaust, lightweight battery, junk in the trunk)
- Keep the tirewidth 225 and under, compound without too much grip
- Don't stiffen up the suspension too much
What makes the Twins and Miata fun to drive is the car has low grip and moves around under you. It's lively, engaging and yet approachable. With my formula it will turn all of that to 11, a little faster, a little more engaging, a little more prone to oversteer...
And the car will be a rock solid DD. |
You get it.
