Default Re: Iam just starting to like my car

Try 1/2 turn from full hard on the front and 1/2 turn from full soft on the rear. I use a bit of trail braking and the car likes it. I learned the technique at a PCA driving school where the instructor taught me how to drive a Porsche. And to my total shock, it works on a Crossfire too! If you've never tried it you may freak at first. I brake a touch early and mostly lift, just barely dragging the brakes entering the corner. Too much brake and the car won't turn but get it right and the car will enter the corner faster than finishing braking before turn in. Just something else to try if you haven't already. I assume you've tried all the logical techniques in the past but trail braking is not logical in a car that pushes. I run 3 psi more in the rear than the front. Your tires will dictate the starting pressures but the 3 psi difference works for me. If I can think of anything else I'll let you know. (for a long track I start at 25 front and 28 rear, for a short track ie autocross, starting pressures need to be higher ... Michelin Pilot Sport Cups on my car)
