It was NOT based on personal experience thankfully! I have seen it so many times that it is committed to memory.

Picked up my #s (08) for RA today. It's becoming real now. The fantasy part of it is starting to fade. TGPR was just a warm up for what is to come and I'm getting soooo pumped, I think I just peed a little. Within a week I should have my REVI kit installed. I think then it will be time for the Depends. How the hell do you make yourself calm down! I need a drink!

Ok guys here are my secret settings for my suspenion--what do yall think?
1- camber -1.4 F and -1.9R
2- cross camber 0
3- caster 6.6
4- cross caster 0.2
5- toe(front) 0.05 r&l--total toe 0.10
6-rear toe 0.09 r&l --total toe 0.18
8- thrust angle 0.01
Car drives tight--a little squirrley on the street--drive with 2 hands on the wheel. turn in is great --middle turn is solid and the tail is planted. Still has a little power understeer but I figue my R compunds will help some with that. with a 35 offset wheel i also have an increase in my wheel track of about 3/4 of an inch. every little bit helps. the rear toe in really makes for high speed stability(in the esses you really feel it) I had very even tire wear at Roebling.
what do yall think?

Between this and legockens wet dreams, I think it is time to regain sanity and discuss my checkered thong. The madness of it all...

Initial camber from the factory was -.8F and -2.0R camber. Was a bit too tight and Gran Turismo's first crack changed the front to -1.5 after my RB suspension was installed.

Still a bit tight. Wanted them to loosen me up a little so I went back. So now my settings are almost exactly what you have With the following exceptions: camber -1.5 all around, rear toe (total)- .20"

I have to go back after getting new rubber to see if anything has changed.

Good news about your wife. Will continue the prayers.

I have a set of tires that got rode hard and put away wet. Just the way we like them. I also have a nice print of the tread pattern on my headliner, forgot to take trash bags. So I now have track rubber to get me through this year.
