I've considered just throwing the kitchen sink at it, then reeled myself back in to something a little more conservative to start with while I, too, work on my driving. I'm not trying to build a racer-car, but do want to make some improvements to maximize my fun time at the track.


Before my next outing I'm going to put an adj rear bar on it and it'll be on a squared 275 or 285 setup using dot/track 200tw tires.

#1 handling mod for a 5th gen SS - get the tires square. Understeer will be dramatically reduced. At very low speeds, it's still a big heavy car, so you'll still find the understeer, but overall the balance moves much closer to neutral - pay attention the first time you get into a high speed chicane as the car is gonna rotate a lot easier and faster with the same amount of input!
