The first video shows a couple laps running behind the 914/6/3.0 (SixAddict) of a good friend. The longer part shows a little more solo action...man these cars are fun!
Second Day after changes (1 lap only) - amazing balance in the car! https://youtu.be/NhHMaa0_R5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHMaa0_R5o https://youtu.be/LfFdP8GnXiQ (12+ minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfFdP8GnXiQ https://youtu.be/9Te6GScwxek (3 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Te6GScwxek The GT3 Cup is faster everywhere but still allot of fun to (try) keep up with. I might be a smidgen faster down the straights - barely at best. Tony |

My opinion only.
Your tub has some fixed limits. You want as much negative camber as you can get up front. So, push both sides in and find th one that goes the least amount, pull the other one out to match. If you want more there are camber boxes that provide more adjustment, and they bolt in. Toe in or almost zero up front Toe out for slow speed autox for faster turn in. Rear, 1/8 in toe in with that motor for sure. When you drop the power, the rears toe out under torque. Rear camber is in my opinion very track specific....if there is a lot of elevation change, it matters. Search in the paddock forum, this has been discussed in quite a bit of depth over the years.
