Maybe it was because it was on the stock not-so-grippy tires that I noticed it more.

Okay, thank you. I think understand what you're talking about. I'll see if I can point it out at the next autocross.

Thanks for sharing. How do you feel about comparing the Zo6 with your FRS? Obviously acceleration is quite different but what about car feel and characteristics. If I can afford to buy a brand new FRS I can certainly find a used C5Z06 (one of few dream cars of mine).

Better late than never I guess... http://www.stranoparts.com/videos.php, it's the video that comes up right away. I'm going to try to get some footage, from a different angle, up from a day last week @ PittRace (formerly Beaverun) here in PA too.

How did you mount your camera? That's a pretty good angle. Car looks nice and stable on that setup too.

It's just a GoPro mounted upside down on the suction cup mount.....

As for setup, one of the things I was going for was a car that was well balanced, but not twitchy. Hence the alterations in spring rates from what comes from KW direct, also the alignment is such that it is more stable than say it'd be on a C-Stock autocross car (which is why I'm working on that 22mm front bar) since I have a good bit more negative camber in the rear than those cars will.

Is the gopro on the back window? Looking forward to further developments.

Rear has been decently stable without camber. Used a little toe instead. This is on RS3s, 215s. On my OEM tires, that is a whole 'nother story.
