If you have factory suspension you have no adjustment and no way to gain. I think my stock alignment was around -1.0.
To All: If you follow the link above to watch Tom driving, you should also see a video listed in the column to the right: "370Z at Goodwood Hill climb" or similar. They get to drive quite a long way. I'm wondering if such events are open to all and, if so, how we could organize similar events in the states.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a huge event, but there are much smaller hillclimb events here in the US. There are at least a couple in the North East where I'm at, so check around.

Lots of hillclimbs in the North West US. And they are much longer. Here is a video of me at my first ever hillclimb a few years ago. I was very careful. I went faster in a slower car the next year but my videos didnt turn out well.

I'm planning to bring my new Nismo Z to hillclimb this year. Other than crappy LSD the car should do OK as Hillclimbs usually reward power.
