Thanks Morris,

Last year at Gateway was the first real test for the car. Prior to that it had only seen the street, so "testing" was of the "seat of the pants" variety.

I went to Gateway with .9 neg in front and .4 neg in rear, which is a lot less negative camber than is usually recommended for C4 vette suspension. Also, I reduced the amount of rear camber gain to keep the contact patch flat when the rear squats under acceleration, per D. Guldstrands recommendation. Toe is 1/16 in because it just "felt" best.

At Gateway temps were 150 across the rears and 145 across the L. front, the right front was 10 degrees hotter on the outside because of turns 3 & 4 of the oval.

What does this say? Why do you think the temps are low? Not driving fast enough?

Scott
