I ran across this site a while back and it made me realize how little I know about what makes a car handle well. Started reading threads and wanted to ask questions so I joined up, also I wanted to use the search function.

I have 1998 Z28 M6 with a couple of bolt-ons, nothing suspension related though. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy the thrill of acceleration but going fast in a straight line cannot hold a candle to corner carving, IMHO.

In two weeks, I am moving to Greensboro, NC, which is only an hour away from VIR. So it is time for me to bring the handling abilities up to scale with the acceleration abilities of the car. Not to mention driver abilities. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Now to get to the point. I will be asking many questions and wanted to thank you guys for your patience and understanding in advance. There is an enormous amount of information and insight on this board and I am going to tap in to it.

No problem Welcome aboard, we are glad to help out. If you can't find it in a search, just ask, there's a good chance that someone can answer your questions. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

First thing. The car is way, way, faster than you think it is (even on a road course) and fixing the driver is a good idea before you throw too much money at parts. I know it's the opposite of any other car boards advice, but we will generally suggest better brake pads and track time. Then, as you progress, work on the car. It will go plently fast enough to get you in plenty of trouble just as it sits. Learn to find what's there first. (Though an alignment is a good idea).
