Good luck with the 3-rotor. I concur on autocross re: Z06 vs FD torque. That's why I do track-only stuff now :)

Wonder how Steve O'Blenes manages to fight off the 'Vettes in BP?

Gene

I, too, looked like I had been in a fight with a cat and lost...
As far as O'Blenes vs. Vettes, 2200 lbs vs 2750 lbs, and I think I wouldn't be complaning about low end as much, if I was 400lbs lighter. We have our FD at 2600lbs.

Anyone have pics of Gene's mod ?

I'm getting fuel-starvation on high-G left-hand turns at Roebling Road, and I just passed a GT3:

I'd suggest reading through the rulebook though, as I'm only going from memory. SM2 rules are much more friendly than ASP.

so you're one of THOSE people, eh? To me, if its not copletely crazy/ unreasonable, its TOTALY legal (if not mentioned). Besides, with a stock fuel tank, how would anyone even think you have this crap in there? do they specificaly crack open the tank on post-race examination of the car?
