Ahh. I assumed by "took out all the castor" meant that he took it to 0, not to the minimum adjustable point. Makes more sense this way.

As for the RX8 vs s2000 thing, the crazy thing is that in my head I never thought the 8 was "faster" than an S2K, so I never thought people would take it that way. I wasn't jumping to the "with an equal world-class driver behind the wheel in each car" like everyone else did. I didn't even search for results that I wanted. I just went to one event and looked it up. Acting as if I went out and scoured results to find the one case where an s2000 was slower than an RX-8 is just as shortsighted as me assuming that one event was worth anything. At least I acknowleged that my data was only one point in my very first post, making it clear that I knew this wasn't a statistically relevant point.

But I get it. No matter where in the world you are, no matter what driver is in the car, no matter what the surface conditions are, no matter how may people you need to get from point A to point B, no matter who is driving the cars, the s2000 will always get there faster and apparently easier than an RX8. I apologize for being wrong, and for making such huge, overreaching assumptions unlike anyone else here.

Let me also say that I'm sorry I was the only one without a level head in here. I'll keep in mind that posts such as
That is the dumbest thing I have seen today.
Are considered well thought out responses. I'll try to use them more often rather than trying to throw a bit of humor into the situation.

What is really funny is a guy on the Miata forum thinks his Miata is a better autox car than an S2k.... I guess Mazda people just hate the S2k.

Wait, is that an A-stock race in the rain or the dry? I hear it matters.
