Most of the guys we've incountered with "handling" issues on GT3s are due mostly to incorrect tire pressures. The rule of thumb for "normal" tire pressure hot will be around 39 lbs. Of course, this may be different with different tire manufactures and compound types but, this is a good starting point. The GT3s are also, for most track work, sprung too soft. There are other Rennlist threads that cover this pretty exactly. You can pm me if you want to talk in depth. I've had advanced students that started with the tire pessures at what they thought were recommened and we found the cars very "***" happy. Car did exactly what we wanted it to do after we got the hot pressures set correctly.

39 should be a ceiling for HOT pressure. Every tire I have run (street & r-comps) get very greasy when you hit 40 and above.

At 38 or above, the back end gets loose with my MPSC's. Ideal seems to be about 35.

Hey Moogle! I thought you live in NYC. Wouldn't you know the City better than anyone else? What happened to your Carrera GT purchase? I really missed all your Daddy's car.
