I wish. I left out the identifying bits of this particular car:Brakelate wrote: Looks like you are getting SERIOUS!
I like everything but the rod supports on the wing, they are not really a necessity from what I've seen. His setup looks mean as hell though.
I'd love to get serious with the track setup on the Cobra, I need some more seat time.

Re: DSG Terminator ready for the races
I think the front splitter looks great and would be functional, but the wing may do more harm than good. I bet it would cut top speed, and no telling how much downforce it would really create (or if it is needed).
I have enough trouble dragging my chin spoiler and trying to avoid rubbing it on curb stoppers as it is. Around here it would just make a good gravel / snow plow.
I don't know how you lowered ride height guys do it.
Personally, at my own level, I think the biggest reductions in lap times could probably come from a nice, big serious brake kit like you and Carlos have. When I have traction, though not fading, I could sure use more stopping power. Even in full heat, Diablito's car would put me through the windshield, and though I have never driven it, I would assume that the remainder of the time that would equate to less pedal pressure, where at times, I am standing on the thing, while backshifting hard to shed speed.
But, his car, with it's high temp crazy race pads squeals like a freight train with a seized wheel against the tracks.
