[QUOTE="Dave Schotz, post: 3369568, member: 2407"] Morning guys... a few questions to answer! Chuckstang: no video as of yet... sorry... I think back on Page 1... I wrote how much stuff I have going on this next week... (today I will be at a design center all day picking out flooring, lamps, and everything else that goes inside a new house). I also leave Thursday for Sacramento for another DBL Nat'l... (and Sunday is my wifes B-Day so Wed I have to take her out... so even next week will be tough... but I WILL TRY!) :) Formula 51: First off... I want to say I AGREE!!! I would think it will be very difficult to overcome such a weight dis-advantage... and at least for now... I can only say that I know they were trying to compare the two... and the goal was to upset the C6... I won't know for sure if they did until full review of the video... and even then... based on what times I got the footage I won't be able to come to a 'PERFECT' conclusion... I can tell from the little bit I have watched... I will be able to post a 'BEST LAP TIME' for the Ford GT... and for the C6... Unfortunately... the 'quick viewing' I've done seems to have the Yellow GT500 'cruising' around... and the video I have of the Blue GT500 'racing' was when they had the chicane in place... so I won't be completely positive... but I will at least be able to do something like a 2 or 3 corner split... and see how that turns out. Formula 51: Track Layout... as for this... here is the link to the track they were testing on: [url]http://www.firebirdraceway.com/06web/06westtrack.html[/url] I don't know if they were using the oval or not... I could only see 'roughly' turns 1 through 5. I am thinking I can run splits on all cars from Turn 1 to the exit of Turn 4 at a minimum. Hope this helps guys... and sorry right now is such a busy time for me! I posted this to at least get some of the info I saw out to fellow enthusiasts! PS... As for the tires on the Yellow car... I believe that is actually just the rear end 'slop' to be honest... it is typical to see a Live Axle move inward... and the body of the car outward in a corner... If you look at the other two photos... I think the tires look consistent on the other side of the car. PPS...
