I have made some changes mechanically to the steering/suspension on my car and for the most part been very happy. Adjustable control arms and stuff. I've decided that every Corvette should have the "Bump steer blocks". One change that I'm not so sure about is the castor setting that has been recomended. Everyone has been gushing about cranking tons of castor into it. So I bought into it and I have about 6deg in it now. I now see my mistake. I have lost the "Nimbleness" of 1 1/2-2deg. I can relate to my motorcycle career. The Wideglides and Softails had 31-32deg Rake and it was well known that they were a more hi-way bike. The Superglides and Deckers had 28-29deg and were described as more "Nimble". I'm pretty in tune with this car and something hasn't felt right this season, it kinda "wallows" around corners. I wondered why Guldstrand's specs were so 'conservative'. Am I on the right track here?
