Dodging cones is really 3 things.
1. getting the car to rotate getting in
2. ultimate grip through a corner.
3. and being able to put as much power to the pavement as possible off the
corner.
With a stock class SHO, for number 1, unhook the front sway bar. Make sure
you have a big rear bar.
For number 2, race tires race tires race tires, and crank in as much neg
camber as you can. Both have everything to do with lateral grip.
For 3, with a stock tranny, you're screwed :) But number 1 and 2 will help
a little in this respect but don't expect much.
