I let a less capable driver drive my car on a cold night and he lost it. Not too bad, but we ended up going up a dirt curb at about 5-10 MPH, and landed on a "stump/rock of death" bottoming out fairly hard just behind the wheel, right on the jack point, then scraped the undermost side of the sideskirt and landed back in the middle of the road. Its dented in moderately at the jack point front right, I can still jack from the center and throw 4 jacks under the car, just as i always did, its not so bad that the car would teeter.

My question is...
Is this dangerous at the track? the car feels solid as S*** all of the time, its got hotchkis sways, stance coils, kinetics camber arms, -2 camber , corner weighted. It occurred to me, that it could be a problem but It's handling seems to flirt with perfection at the track, and has the mildest of over-steer, but it is progressive. basically all seems well, what do you guys think.

Would a roll bar fix stiffin the car up.

 

Your 1st mistake -- letting someone else drive your Z. From your description, sounds like you were "airborne," which is not a good thing. I suggest you get your car on a lift and check it thoroughly, specifically your frame & suspension components. At a minimum, you probably need an alignment.

Race tracks change from day to day. More rubber, less rubber, hot weather, cold weather. Track temps can run from almost freezing up to 154 degrees as seen in July at Roebling Road. Don't expect your car to handle the same everytime you go to the track. Even from morning to the afternoon on the same day. Even your tires are changing with less rubber, more hardness, etc. I doubt that you have any significant damage. I agree with the comment, "dont let others drive you car".

 

ok cool, Im glad you dont think is messed up
