I think my package just needs fine tuning of which i have zero experience setting up a suspension. I'm not sure what speed the aero would come in at (t-hill, turn 1 at 90ish for me, would love to compare it to something else)....

Yeah, as much as i love that cowl hood, it has been my nemesis...

I just took delivery of a set of the new Rival S's yesterday. Can't wait to try 'em. :cheers:

Looks like you are having fun
I am also learning how to tune these cars
for handling. Trial and error and some help from
others. Took me a couple years to figure out the Pantera
and I now think I could make that better

Seems like a little more chin on the front spoiler
works at higher speeds. Did one on the bird recently
But not ready to track that car yet worked great on my
Pantera. Look at Mary Pozzis car. I did tap plastics
for both cars.

Might see you at thunderhill in a few weeks

Mary's spoiler is killer. If I had a 2nd gen I would definitely run one of those. Randy at D&Z will sell you it. He made it.

90 is more than fast enough for aero to work, Mike. I originally asked because my car doesn't get light at highway speeds. However, the aero on the TA's is known to work in stock form compared to the other models. The later TA's and eventually Z's had the best factory aero. It can all be improved upon though. I'd keep it in mind as you progress. I can imagine the front end getting light on the highway is not an enjoyable feeling.

I love this car. I might do a similar spoiler just because it looks so wicked.

Definitely got my eyes and ears on. I'd love to see that piece on my car with an inlet for air/engine, and r&l brake ducting, three inlets total. Very doable. Hmmmmm....

got an appointment at maierinc tomorrow for help on tuning the suspension. At least get me a base setup...
