I was second in F Street to a BMW M3 with Rival S and seriously prepped up. I did it on 300 Treadwear Federal SS595 with stock shocks, Hotchkis swaybar on the lowest setting, so I have nothing to be ashamed about.He beat me pretty well. But, hey the most important thing is my wife and I had a great time.
Lessons learned:
Front shocks have got to go. Time to replace with Bilstein B6.
Next time I buy tires, going with the Federal 595 RS-RR
Stiffen the front sway bar some more
Find a way to install four or five point harnesses in the car. Damn leather seats had us sliding all over Hell's Half-Acre on the seat.
Rear rotates fairly well, I can definitely see why everyone gets a real LSD and not the VLSD to get a better hook up out of the corners.
Will post pics and video later. The wife took almost all the pics, and I can't find the Go Pro.
