You bet. You can't begin to tune a chassis without this knowledge. Nothing. Don't get me started on the exhaust guys. We need an index page for general consultation.

Looks like the car has a little wedge in it. Do you think that was intentional or just normal production tolerances? My lightweight C6Z has serious traction problems and always yawed hard right on hard acceleration. I played with the wedge and mostly cured the yaw and even though it didn’t help my traction problems at least it stays pretty straight on launch. It looks like this platform will be fun to play with.
