For what it's worth, I am running Penske triple adjustables. No one at this level runs stock struts.

My trans arrives from Shep tomorrow, so I hope to have the Gerrard Ohlins package installed and aligned the following weekend - just waiting on his guys to pick a day.

Cool! bet you can't wait to put the puppy together ... must have been a hard wait. You'll have to tell me how you like it. After reading what Paul has been saying about suspension and driving style on this forum, I was sold!

As tuffguy said: Seriously, can anyone record this and host it for DL? The quality can be crappy to make the file size small ...

Good to know....why are the Evo times so relatively slow, in your opinion, in T2, compared to the subies? Also, on the west coast the 350z's are kicking Evo ***...it's curious to me. You are allowed a flash, no exhaust? I know the tires and wheels have to stay stock size...it's just curious to me. Can you change the rear swaybar? All these rules are why T2 is not attractive to me.

Flash, cat-back, no boost controller - very similar to A-stock in SCCA Solo II.

It really depends on the track, you are looking at times from one race. That and the Subies are better prepped than ANY Evo being that they are factory backed, big budget, a very talented crew of mechanics, tuners etc.. oh and Have 3 Pro drivers driving them. The way these guys have the Subies suspended so well puts it far ahead of the Evos in handling. As for the Zs beating the Evos out west, it really depends on the track again, if the drivers are even close and its a power track, the evo has the advantage, if its a handling track (kinda like HPT) it rewards the 350Zs. Keep in mind there are some very talented Pro drivers driving a lot of the 350s out there. If you get a chance do some google searches on them, add words like "speed world challenge" and "grand am cup" to the search Rear sway has to remain stock, cat back exh is allowed, cat remains ON the car. The rules may not be attractive to you but what would you rather have with very little mods an Evo IX? or a 350Z? So we are all pretty much in the same boat.

I hope to see you guys there in a year or so. I am building the cage this winter, then off to the wolves, as they say.

Bill, it was a pleasure meeting you at the COM Limerock event, you are a really talented driver!
