Can someone explain advantage of de-coupled torque arm,
and is it required. All seems good , after 5- 25 minute sessions, I realize I just learning the car, and being now an AARP member, I have figured I drive at around 6 or 7 th's. I have yet to have an agricultural excursion with either the Camaro or the trans am And that is over 18 track days, since last October when all this began. Figuring 4-5 sessions per day. I guess I fall under , OVER CAUTIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! No, I have never ventured from NJMP, as it is only 50 miles from home, and I really do not want to travel as yet. Although I know I should to expand .... Would love to go to WGI, but try to get by the GF, and tell her I will be gone for 5 days instead of 3 is tough.... As I learn car, should I push to get to maybe 8 10th's???? I am sure capability is there, but I seemingly am a painsy A$$. |
