Lookin good! What region do you run in?? Oh, and might I make a suggestion, run with the sun roof closed it will reduce the little drag that is there, and will make the car more ridgid. I know it sounds crazy, but I ran .1 tenth faster with the roof closed!

oh and here are my videos! http://www.team-crm.com/video/lj042907.wmv

I honestly don't think the sunroof being open will effect a run unless you are on a big track and in that case I wouldn't want it open anyways. The only way I think it would make a difference is if it is buffeting and that is taking your concentration away from what you are doing. To the original poster, are you pressing in the clutch while going around corners?


edit: to laser blue, didn't you have your windows open in that video?
