So here's what I'm experiencing.
Under hard acceleration, in gears 2,3,4, I can break it loose with just a twitch of the steering wheel. 5th I cannot as it is a flipped H. I looked at the car from the rear and realized I've got probably 3 degrees of negative camber on each side. I'm thinking those 11" Pilot Sports are probably only making contact with half of the tread. The inner half. Is their an adjustment balance of negative camber, for maximum traction, under hard acceleration and hard turning? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I've often thought about rear neg camber settings and I think you guys are correct when you mention little or no neg camber settings for the drag strip and 2-3 degrees neg camber on the track. I have always left my rear settings at 1.5 neg camber for a good all around setting. If I try to run a fast quarter this summer...I'll change to 0 and see if that helps any. Anyone else have some experience with big fat tires on a 914?
