[QUOTE="BlackBolt9, post: 9243471, member: 36489"] Yes, we must use the factory suspension mounting points. Everything else that was wrong seems to have been covered by Tob already. Give me an f-ing break. The Porsche and BMW guys are complaining because they are trying to cheat to win and therefore aren't getting the concession from Grand Am they probably should. We won the championship last year not because we had the fastest car but because we were the most consistant. Our worst race finish was 8th and we were top 5 for all but 2 or 3 races the entire season! The BMW's from Turner could kick our ass at will and would have won the championship if they weren't running engines that were so strung out that they blew up at least twice that I remember. That's 2 DNF's and they finished the championship in 3rd behind two Mustangs that never placed out of the top ten. Cry me a river and how about the Porsche's that were running illegal engines, even got caught once when inspected. Don't hear them crying about that, no the real problem is those Mustangs :rollseyes FWIW, they are not Motons, last year was the mandated Koni coil overs. Before that we ran Dynamics, which are made by Multimatic as well. They are not any further from factory than the BMW or Porche Koni's that they were required to run as well. Completely fair between the teams. EDIT: BTW looking at pictures of this prototype IRS, I don't see a way to adjust and or fix toe. From the reading it appears that it's supposed to be self correcting or something along those lines. Not something I think I would want in a race car to be honest. Something that can move without me knowing for sure which way or how much scares me from a car setup POV. [/QUOTE]
