I'm probably overthinking this but it's freaking cold out and the car is in offsite storage so I can't pop out to the garage to ponder my questions.

Goody,
I've always appreciated the stance on your setup and I'd run that for a daily but I bet there are better handling combos out there. Maybe that is the solution, an extra setup for the weekend fun?

The wheels/tires on it now are a hodge-podge of crap I put on to replace the 20yr old stuff it came with so it would be safe to go on the highway as cheaply as possible. I wouldn't think of doing an event with 255/70-15 Coopers on the back. They are 29" tall but they look pretty cool. I've got an A833 OD manual trans that will go in at some point down the road and help with highway rpm, but right now there are other priorities. Car has a ways to go
