Exactly! Why fuck with it if you don't have to! Fasteners stay nice & clean. No tweaking the alignment. It's perfect.

Made it out to VIR with Chin Track Days last Sunday & Monday for the first time. Great track, great weather and a bunch for me to learn out there. Set a PB of 2:14.44 which isn't too shabby!

Enjoy!

New PB at Sebring this weekend, 2:34.599 on a set of heat cycled Nankang AR1's.

No video, only AIM data, that's the one session I didn't get on video

6 - 86's in attendance, the fastest, Nick D, set a blistering 2:32.xxx, very close to Dave-Ror's PB of 2:31.xxx!

Opie do you find the car is not balanced with the rear wing? I am trying to get away with just a rear wing vs a splitter + wing.

I've been running it this way since I got the Wang. Going from no Wang to Wang I had to make several suspension adjustments to help dial it in but it never really felt unbalanced.
