oops! Looks like I've open a can of worms
I understand that the speed difference is huge. It's been a while I find that a 944 is slow. But very fun to drive and I'm doing it with my friends. I want to move up the ranks, but I don't want to buy a F1600, then sell it because I want to learn aero. Then buy a F2000. I've wasted so much money building a Turbo 944 just to sell it at a fraction of the cost to go race an atmospheric 944, I don't want to make that same mistake again.
I also understand that a formula 1600 is not like a sedan. Still, the same basics apply (alignment, rake, ride heigth, sway bars, springs, these are all things we - sedan drivers - also play with, including shocks too, only 2 way adjustable though). What is that mechanical grip that is so different? I truly don't know. You guys know. I'll have to learn it for sure.
I'm mentally prepared for that rude awakening. And quite franckly, this is what I want. I'm not fooling myself. I don't pretend anything either. I just want to jump in that bandwagon of complexity. Hey, if I don't like it I can always race something else.
But I think I will like it. I have a good friend of mine who use to race the Export A FF2000 in the late eighties, then raced for Jackie Stewart in the Formula Opel Serie then came back here racing in the FF2000 USAC/SCCA pro serie in 92-94. I guess he could help out a bit . I have a very good mechanic. Will need to find someone on the engineering side.
Thanks for the input and sorry to have hi-jacked the thread...
