Most on here will not go as aggressive with camber or toe as I do because most drive to the track.

Sometimes I will bring the G to the track....have the setting changed and run the hell out of her ( just incase Sharif sees this...I run it at 5 psi's
)to see if I can beat the race car times because the G has more power.....It usually does for one or 2 laps now that I have much bigger brakes and I run it on ultra soft race tires.
Look at the pictures of the cars that entered the event....it tells me alot about how they have their cars setup.

What do you consider agressive alignment?
I'm a little lost.

Just because its not a ***** out track car doesn't mean he can't enjoy his street car on a road car from time to time.

But this post isn't indicative of casual tracking.
He states he runs agressive alignment and has ultra soft race tires... I'm not calling anyone out, but I would like to hear specifics. I don't know of any race tires in 19 or 20". I would also like to see alignment numbers.
I run the Toyo Proxes R888 which is stickier than any street tire and I can't run really agressive alignment. With these tires the car likes about -2.5 camber up front with 275's, and about 2.2 in the rear with 305's. If my car is a handfull with 565whp and R888's I'd like to hear how he manages more power with less tire.
I have had race car drivers drive my car and say it's a handful with that power. At Sebring I'm comming into turn 17 at about 185mph.
Just interested to hear more.

Pics??? Whats that? When I am at the track I am there to race...if someone wants to take pictures of my car thats fine with me.
I have a set of 18" and 19" rims for this car. The 18" is rapped in goodyear soft race compound and the 19" is regular goodyear eagles...I think.
Whats wrong with Rotora? James, Dil and a few others will explain how well they work
On my race car I have 8piston Brembo's front and 6 in the rear....they dont have the same Monster grabbing power as the Rotora. Thanks for the kind words about my car looking like a show car.....but I know that when I speak of my race car...you dont think that I am speaking of the G .....I hope not.
What do I consider agressive alignment?...... -2 or more. Depending on the track I am at.... I may run -1 in the rear with adjusted Toe...-2 on drivers front and -1 on the other front....like I said depending on the track. Tracks with banking like Daytona...I may do a little more

I guess you see my car and feel that the only wheel setup I have is the 20's....lolI guess I am guilty also.....I myself thought you were using race tires and stating that the car is a hand full with that kind of HP..
I myself would not take any of my cars to a track and push it to that speed on street tires.

Professional Racer?? Professional Race car drivers get paid..I dont....I have great sponsorship so I dont pay for tires, oil, turbo's or gas, engine building and so on...But I am the main car owner and team Tractor Trailor owner which I had to shell out funds for. Racing for over 15 years does not make me a professional.
If I was not in the profession I was in....I would move up for sure...but then again....if I was not in the profession I was in....I could not afford to play.
BTW...my comment about turning the boost up had nothing to do with car failure.....I am talking about driver failure. That horse has been beaten to death already Sunshine !!

It should be a fun weekend.I will be there for sure. Sharif is checking to see if I can run my car with the compound that goodyear gives me....The Tractor Trailor is in NY....so if they will let me run it that would be cool. I was planning to be there for the last event....but a patient went bad on me
It never fails 
See you soon.

I was just assuming the tire diameter would be 19" or 20" becasue I didn't think the Rotora 12 pot brakes won't fit 18's over them. Which 18" wheels fit over the 12 piston Rotora's? Got any pics ot that setup? Thanks!
What car do you race? You can run in the unlimitd class as long as it's a full unibody car.
Here is a link to the rules:

I have not run the G at any events with the Rotora's.....They were installed just before the Big Dawg event and I used the 20" at that time. The 19" will fit....I am having some tires shaved for the 19" rims.....I will see how they feel when i get the car back from Forged Performance.
I race a 996 TT ....and yes I looked up the rules....thats all I will say on that
