Yeah I figured so. On a short stage there is no difference between 250 and 450 hp, the trick is getting it to the ground Quicker. On proper track when the faster car can stretch its legs its ,......... bye bye baby.

IMO ppl concentrate too much effort on big $$$ Mods but the biggest & best improvements are alsways with the Driver in his (or her) head. and Good tyres will help also.

I gone back to Basics, its way cheaper and I am getting faster. A stock Evo or Sube is a great car and the limits are well beyond 99.9% of us.

I saw Lewis Hamilton earlier this year and I realized how far most of us really have to go to get 10% of his talent but we have to start somewhere

Could go back to the stock settings and start from there, IMO thats alsways best. We run 2 deg front / 1.5 deg rear /0 too front / 1-2 mm toe out rear for better turn in.

that car is a beast, so perhaps turning down the boost would help with the power delivery.

Check Jodi Ali, he is very fast on streets.

Right enough car, back to work now, cheers fellers!

< waiting a flame from Uncle Sanctifier > Flame :?: ... Why :?: ... Can't argue with the truth.
I am a Colin Chapman (Lotus) disciple. Been saying so for years...
... Softer springs... stiffer adjustable shocks... adjustable sway-bars...

Link--> ~ From The Archives ~ Roadholding!

Even the used coilovers going that route too... just better "tunability", that's all.
Got a deal. That's why I bought them in the first place. Just icing on the cake. 8-)
Final handling steps for me... adjustable sway-bars... lighter, wider rims... good tyres... $$$$ :roll:

Same opinion as yours about power too my friend.
IMHO Mid-range Torque is more important than WHP figures... especially for Solodex.
That's why I bought an EvoGreen turbo... Not really interested in 500+ WHP.

My $0.02¢
