Blame California. They have to make sure the car works on shit Cal 91 octane, so less timing and boost for America.

Weird, super heavy springs and wide tires? When I ran close to zero, she pushed everywhere. I slowly increased my own camber settings until I was getting even wear and temperature across the front tires.

This might be the case, I’ve never set up a car that didn’t have power going to the rear wheels. Doing a FWD would be a totally new experience for me.

I agree, but nobody would want to drive that car on the road with basically solid suspension. It also won’t be any faster around a track than a car properly set up for a lot of travel. The only time you really WANT super heavy spring rates is when you’re running an aero car.

Close, it’s an FR-S that I do time attack and hillclimbs with. But for most cars with strut suspensions for most forms of time based performance driving the answer is as much negative camber up front as the platform allows (assuming you do run a spring with a little compliance) and as much in the rear to make the car…

You’re funny, come back after talking to the fast guys at autocross and time attack, regardless of platform.

No, I depends entirely on the suspension geometry and movement (240 has struts which will require a lot more static camber than say, an f1 car). I run -3.5 degrees per side on my track car, because that’s what I found to be fastest.

This is a classic drift alignment, huge camber up front, nearly none in the back (maybe even positive camber!). Might not be quickest around a track, but it’s certainly not set up for hard parking.

In what sense? All cars are shipped and factory aligned to under-steer at the limit, negative camber out front increases front end grip. A properly set up neutral track car will always be running more negative camber up front that in the rear.

You obviously don’t know just how much those old KAs weigh.

This is not stance

Lol spaced on that one. But my point still stands, I’ve been to a ton of track days and nobody is bringing exotics. This isn’t for lack of local owners either, the Northwest is full of them, they just don’t bring the expensive toys to play on tarmac. The ones that do bring them out have GT3s and Palatovs.

What research? My issue is with the author’s statement that most NSXs will see track time, that’s bullshit. Brilliant car or not the owners are going to baby them.

Hey calm down... Some supercar owners do track their cars, but to say the “average” NSX is going to see multiple events per year is ludicrous. 90% will only ever see the road and 50% won’t ever see redline.

“While the typical NSX owner may track his car anywhere from three to four times per year”

I’m curious here, did they take a sample comprised solely of adults with so called “healthy” sleep patterns. If you take a group of people who normally get 8 hours per night, of course they will do worse on less. I’m just having trouble understanding how so many of us can do so well for decades on <6 per night.

This is my experience as well, I actually feel pretty slow and lethargic on days where I try to sleep longer.

Yes, “easy to drive” is my boring, I’d go with the 302.

Yeah I’m actually considering *gasp* fixing some of the known minor issues rather than passing them to the next owner...

This man speaks the truth.
