sounds like you're not driving close enough to the limit Driven big willow and experienced any problems over the bump in turn 8?

I've grown to love the ZERO toe. It's neutral with a little throttle, tail happy with a lot. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Toe in keeps the car streight, toe out tends to make the rear slide out, so what will 0 toe do to the car?

It gets me a little sideways if I get too aggressive, but if I let off just before the bump and get back on it when I feel the wheels land, it's not so bad. I make up for it in the smooth sections. Remeber I'm in a relatively soft-sprung AP2.

You're talking about the front; I was talking about the rear.

Soft sprung or hard sprung, you should be driving flat out through Turn 8. I remember sipping on my mocha latte going through turn 8 flat out If you have to lift for that bump or any bump, the car isn't setup right whether it's alignment settings, spring rates, shock valving, or sway bars. Most of the time, it's alignment settings that will hold you back from driving flat out through a turn with a bumpy surface.

Damn. I always spill my coffee...

I like to come in there wide and tuck in, it gives me a better exit. The tires don't like me very much.
