Strangely I have more confidence even in the wet with the BMW than I ever did in the dry with any of my other cars, granted I haven't had it on a trackday in the rain but plenty of back road runs

I think I'm afraid of RWD

I had a lot more confidence in my MX5, granted it was a lot lighter. I think having that much weight over the back end makes it more daunting.

What angle are your wishbones at compared to level ground? Car looks pretty low. Mucks up the corrado handling too

Got a tank slapper the other week overtaking someone in the rain

Never felt unsafe, more concerned about the under steer and stupidly long ratio steering rack

What is your suspension set up like? What tyres and pressures

For comparison I'm running 3 degrees camber, standard toe and max caster on the front and 1.2 degrees camber on the rear with standard toe

Ad08's I think it was 28 or 30 psi hot
Had a little oversteer but no under steer

-3.5 deg front, -2.5 deg rear, little bit of toe out on the front and a tiny tiny bit on the rear. Dampers are set to full soft though.

Jim, wishbones aren't the issue, they're not even parallel, they angle down still. People run lower with no trouble.
