Driver's Impression
Pros: Alignment, gearing, spring rates and power. Very forgiving, great for a new Driver. "Spring rates were good for the tires".
Cons: Understeer, rear needs to rotate more. "Brakes are SCARY!"
Comments And Advice: Upgrade brakes and get the largest rear sway bar available. "This track has brutal a 130mph to
40mph zone, and street brakes were not cutting it." Also upgrade struts. "Although the spring rates were good, the struts could use more
rebound". -JC

Driver's Impression
Pros: Throttle response, power, brake modulation, corner exit and B-series shift linkage!
Cons: Rear suspension (too soft springs and toe), overflowing catch can, and bushings.
Comments And Advice: Get stiffer springs in the rear, new rear bushings, alignment, and remove or relocate catch can higher.
"Most impressive thing was the throttle response, even over all the K-series cars. Suspension or alignment for some reason just didn't feel right.
The overflowing catch can was a problem limiting us to only one hot lap. The last corner coming onto the oval the rear wheel picked up some of
the spilling oil and I was at full lock counter steer on the last turn. A better lap could have definitely been obtained. Check all suspension pickup
points. Bushings could be worn out. -AH
