could you do me a huge favor? measure your front and rear fender to the ground. the ride height is perfect and I need to readjust my coilovers. I have the exact same wheels but +40 in the rear instead of +27. thanks!

The yellow tape is there for a few reasons. When I DD, to see if alignment is still straight (one side toe in, one side to out. so / / means turn more left to center and \ \ means turn more right to center.) On the track when i have in car video such as that, it is easier for me to see the steering and movements of the wheel. In the case of that spin, it would be waaaay easier to see what I did wrong with steering by looking at the yellow tape vs no yellow tape. It also helps to find center when you are countersteering hand over hand if you oversteer really bad. Kinda harder to see black on black. Other than seeing what I did wrong, I can see what i did right on the track. You can see how much steering input, slip angle, if steering is smooth, you are able to see on video your turn in points, and unwinding points. These are the main reasons for it being there. I really got to redo mine since its starting to come off after 2 years. Its hella functional and plus it looks cool.

I was in 3rd gear when I was exiting that turn chasing him. Im not sure if he was in 3rd or 2nd. He got on throttle a little earlier than me. I think 2nd gear would be better for me in terms of acceleration. But usually he pulls a few cars on me on the straights and maybe a car on the shorter straights. Btw, Ben does have more torque than me around ~30wtq. Give or take. Im sure that helps and is good for at least a car length and a half down the straights.
