Default Re: Circuit Race Car Potential ?

The Crossfire is good but has limitations. It's heavy. Adjustability is challenging. Hard to get enough negative camber in the front. Can't be lowered as much as needed. The front control arms will hit the bracing if too low, the tires will hit the inner fender wells and the shocks will split the bump stops and bottom out. Front tire size is limited. In the rear the control arms end up below parallel to the ground lowered and the camber arms hit the sway bar. Suspension travel is insufficient when lowered. Front brakes need lots of cooling. Even fighting all these problems/limitations, the car can be made wicked fast. I stoped competing for several reasons one being what it was going to take to reach the next level. I needed more cooling for everything. I needed a custom front suspension but didn't want to cut up the car. I needed a roll cage. My wife was afraid I was going to eventually have an accident. The club racing here was going through lots of drama taking the fun out of it.
