Anybody think it is unreasonable to guess that with some substantial suspension mods and wider wheels/tires, is 0.95-1.00 a good estimate?

I haven't gotten mine onto a skidpad yet to check this haha

.95 is definately possible and with a bit more tuning 1.00 is acheivable.

honestly i have no idea, i have to take into account indivisual settings such as camber toe caster and other stuff like weight distribution damper settings and above all, each car has its own problems and what not that you cant just guess.

but if you must hear our opinion, id say .91-.93

haha yeah it was just for fun, but obviously the most important thing is how much contact patch i put down on hard cornering, which is dependent upon alignment, stiffness of linkages, and many other things


thanks though!
