Re: Pictures of new Wing, Splitter and of course... MEATS!

just give a call the Chip or John at CCW and ask them WTF?

You probably have more steering since your offset is about 1/2"+ more since your center section is on the inside which is making your front track wider.

Re: Pictures of new Wing, Splitter and of course... MEATS!

Your car remains - as always - outstanding!

Looks like you have some built in adjustment on the wing angle. The current angle of attack looks pretty agressive - you may be able to get some speed and still have adequate handling by reducing the angle. Glen and I are running near nuetral angle - since their is aero downforce built in. But we're still running the the WC 4.6L

Then again, if your nearly soiling yourself in 12 - maybe you don't want to mess with it

Re: Pictures of new Wing, Splitter and of course... MEATS!

There's nothing wrong with your CCW Classics.... some older versions were made like that for offset reasons as it allows for more caliper clearance. The folks at CCW don't mess that stuff up. A local guy to me has a sweet C4 ZR1 Corvette with the centers on the inside like that.... they're uber rare.

Yes, it was quite aggressive Bob, felt great in 12 but not so great in the straights. Tiny lessened the angle considerably, to 3 degrees I believe, and things got much better. I値l be at Road Atlanta again with Chin in a few weeks and we値l try a neutral position as suggested. I知 betting it値l be just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks for that info Brian. By the time panozracing pointed it out I had already been around the track enough times that if there was going to be a problem I would have already encountered it. But it's good to know that they did it by design, and not by accident.

Re: Pictures of new Wing, Splitter and of course... MEATS!

If you think about it, the area where the two 1/2s of the wheel barrel coem together there is probably 3/8" thick give or take... CCW only make 3 pad heights for classics due to the production method.... so if the tallest pad center isn't enough or it's close, then they can set them up like yours to get that barrel width on the ouside... it would really only apply if for some reason the outer edge of the backside was close to the caliper.

Re: Pictures of new Wing, Splitter and of course... MEATS!

Hi Jim, tried 24 psi cold all around seemed to work well. Had too much front brake bias initially, but dialed it back. See you at VIR. G;-)
