Agree that it looks like the rears have more neg. camber than the fronts, but it might be accentuated in that pic if he is accelerating heavily in.
My god that car is light, as you say Patrick, it must be a dream to drive!
I reckon there's a fair bit of rear neg all the same Duke, unless that's just before those CV bolts backed out and snapped.
I so want a car light like this. I think it would shave so much time off with 500lb less bulk

It was a pleasure meeting you and the event was great. Always a good event with NOR. Thanks for putting it together. Question though, what kind of lap times were you running with that GTS 3 beast?

The rear camber is somewhat of an optical illusion - it's do to the way the rear flares drastically cut across the tire to match up with the factory rockers. I'm running about -2.7 deg in the rear and -2.9 in the front.

Great to meet you as well. You car looked phenomenal - great job on building that. I didn't have my laptimer hooked up so only got a couple times from folks who had a stop watch on me. I was running 1:16s on Sunday. Still was taking it somewhat easy as I learn the limits of the car.

is this NASA GTS 3 or PCA GTS 3?
I'm thinking there's no way this car is going to qualify as a NASA GTS3 car. it's way too light and probably has a ton of power...what's the whp rating?

GTS 4. 310 rwhp - magic of turbo cars - adjust boost to get the power needed to stay in class.
