Nope. I have my car so specifically setup for road course racing it would be terrible to navigate down the track or even think about hooking up out of the hole.

I have 675 lb/in rear springs, 4" of total wheel travel (so about 2" from ride height to max extension, and 2" to max compression, but there is no way it will get there with those springs). My front sway bar is also retardedly stiff (0.188" wall thickness bar). My rear alignment has 2 degrees of negative camber dialed in. Front alignment has -2.5 degrees of camber, and some toe OUT).

All those things add up to a car that won't hook out of the hole for shit, straight line traction isn't that great, and is really twitchy at high speeds. I'll definately be running it down the strip a few times this year, but there is no way I could be competitive or consistant with this setup. I'm really hoping for an 11.5 @ 125 this year, but I really don't know what it will do.
