Just catching back up on this thread!
And yes, one thing I have learned is that you cannot judge track performance by the cars that line up. At my last event with the cobra on 7/10 and 7/11, my new suspension ran great, but i must have given a point-by to a black volkwagon GTI at least 5 times!!! I'd point him by, come up on in hard in the next straight away, and then back off to make the turn safely. he would rarely hit the brakes in his GTI, it was impressive to watch and I learned a few things by watching him go by me.

Still working on seats, I have bought a few but they don't fit well. Guess I need to go with the 'cobra' 13 inch seat that others have used. I had two seats I bought for a honda S2000, they almost fit....i am going to fight with them a bit more.
Good tip on the alignment! Maybe I should just add a little negative camber, 1 degree? I dont want to kill the street performance. I am still trying to keep to the philosophy of racing-what-you-drive :P
