My post was meant to be a compliment :tiphat:

I love that people are posting their setups! I think its interesting to see what everybody has. Of course I watch the F1 pre show just for the segment that they talk about the tires. I love tires, not sure why.

Yessir, trying to get some 11's for next year to get them stretched out a little better. Really like being able to rotate tires with 500+whp, makes tires last a lot longer.

Meh...18x12's or bust. From the old autocross days...

Who runs a wing? Not needed for autocross? Anybody think their lap times would improve with one?

The little splitter and blade do help on the SP cars in autox. You have to set the cars so knife edged that it helps to calm them down a bit in transition.

Yes, I run a big wing on the car now in TT...winter project is to go over to a carbon/lexan hatch and chassis mount it. The wing has pretty much destroyed the hatch at this point.

I see the dents under the mounts. :icon17:
