none at all. It's only 80% maxed out. 9 deg castor with -3 is 100% but rear is maxed out at -2.7neg due to increase in ride height from the weight reduction. Although I'm more concerned about the ackerman steering being out of whack. But when your cornering at limit it's not really that critical

How much time you think a typical wing is costing thru the oval? I suspect a well set-up diffuser would make for a much better alternative.
I maxed out at 125 but twohoos got to 138 . So up to 13 mph.... a lot. But my wing back then had a very steep angle of attack because I was chicken. I get to 134 in the racecar with a flattish 1.6* angle of attack.

WOW!! That's a huge difference. It's funny that Ry was still hitting 140+ with that wide a$$ wing. I told you Richard - high aspect ratio wing = low drag. which one did you use?

No, Ry's uncorrected speedo showed 140 but he has 4.44's. My speedo showed 150+ with 4.57's . The 134 was from my DL1.

yeah I said I was indicating in the 140's best I saw was about 144 before turning. I'm about 5% optomistic w/ the 4.44s and taller tires so thats in the 135 range. My fastest lap is on video and you se derek only hitting about 135 before T1 and I'm along side.

My wing was trimmed flat, I even considered removing it had I had 6th gear

why not, John. I see you got a 2:01 back in 04 and we have comparable times.
I ran 2:02... back in April of 2004 in a bone stock S2000 with the exception of pads and fluid. It was my first time at Sears in the S2000.
