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.

Thanks for the welcome! There does seem to be many like minded people here. I know what you mean Trackbird, find the shortcomings and then fix them, as my driving abilities catch up. My car does have 97k miles on it so I know there are parts that need to be R&R and thats what I plan on doing first. As a side note, it was your posts on LS1Tech that led me to this sight. You should plug it more. LOL

Well, considering I have never even riden on a motorcycle, it would be more scary than fun. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Although, I do intend to change that one day but from what I understand it is best to learn on a dirt bike.

I just can't wait to turn a few laps at VIR. The last time I visited North Carolina I took a trip up there to check out the facility and found what I had seen on TV didn't do it justice. In my opinion, the Formula 1 US GP should move there. I might get flamed for this, but it seems VIR would make for better racing, although there is a lot of history at the Brickyard.

I hate to admit that we have tried to keep ourselves a "secret". It's not that people aren't welcome, they absolutely are. It's that we get much better referrals by word of mouth from racer to racer. This avoids 300 threads on "which lid is the best", like you'll see on some other sites.
