![]() Is your car your daily driver? If so, I've found it difficult to cut weight w/ conv's and maintain the comfort level. I agree w/ fiveoboy that chassis tuning is worth it, but disagree on the tire pressure. My recommendation would be to run the highest pressure you can w/o spinning. This allows the smallest surface area of tire to be touching (dragging, slowing you down) the ground. Also, a set of skinnies w/ 50 psi was worth as much as 3 tenths over my ponies and 245/50's for my car (on radials).
As far as I know, most tracks will not let you race w/ the top down (it really doesn't make much difference in traction anyway), but I asked just for kicks and they said they'd let me run if I had a 10-pt. Guess that won't be happening!! ------------------ 93 yellow limited edition convertible Black top/interior, 5-spd 3.73's, H-pipe, pullies Best - 14.13 @ 96.5 on street tires 3650 lbs w/ me.
