Seems like an awfully big/heavy, front-biased car to be autoXing anyway...

Honestly, the suspension design of the Corvette (and Miata) are superior. Tirewear and adjustability are superior. That is what had me finally land where I am after 10 years of asking myself what I wanted.

meh, "superiority" of A-arms and "inferiority" of struts is way way way overstated/overestimated if you ask me. I've been in dozens of cars at the track and my dearly-departed strut-suspended 240Z was honestly one of hte sweetest-handling. I did not feel much of a suspension downgrade going from S2000 to BRZ fwiw....
Etiher way, get a decent suspension setup that works and GO! Maybe the strut cars need another 0.5 degrees of static camber, so what... I used to "adjust" suspension between events but pretty quickly decided that trackish setup all the time is fine for street and track during track season. Usually -3 front -2 rear camber, near-zero toe all around.

I am not looking for speed/R-comps. Just an enjoyable experience I and my wallet can live with, really.

FT86 will provide that
And my experience is that while big power cars kinda *need* super-grippy R-comps to perform at the track, less-powerful cars kinda don't. Not as much anyway. RE71Rs for sure work a LOT better on my BRZ than they did on the RX-7, which would easily overpower them. On the BRZ the RE71s are a tick or two *faster* than NT01s, whereas on the FD the NT01s were able to put the power down so much better that they were a couple of seconds faster vs. RE71R!

Thanks for your insight, but I don't think even you are catching many people on ViR Full with even a well driven BRZ PP on A6s.

I did OK there vs. higher-powered machinery way back when in the 240Z (255rwhp, 2300 lb) though
