It would be cool to have an event where all are running the same tire and find out, and I'm not talking about dodging cones.

I have looked at a few pics of your car and honestly think the car is not setup to run the times you expect. Sits to high and has too much body roll, but maybe you have made a lot of changes since these pics. My experience is you need to have a car that can hold 1.5 g's plus in order to negoitate turn that will result in low 1:50's times. In addition, a leaf spring setup compared to a coil over car with Watts linkage and torque arm will limit your braking and handling ability....and yes I agree the DSC quadra link setup might not be much better than a good leaf spring setup. Bottomline, it will come down to who can post the best lap times.
