The problem is with stock power (425hp), you can chirp the tires shifting into 4th gear (and spin like crazy in the lower gears). This is with the stock 265/35R-18 DOT-R semi-slicks.
I'm definitely going to need to find a solution to get more grip back there, even with 60% of the weight in the back.
Wow! And you're still adding more power? You track the car, right? Just out of curiosity, why are you adding more power? Is it not fast enough or bragging rights? What kind of suspension does the car have, front and rear?
The suspension is a bespoke coilover with Dynamic Suspension dampeners and Eibach ERS (Eibach Race Springs) springs. There's a front sway bar, but no rear.
Here's a picture:
The lower end M12 GTO-3R gets a bespoke coilover Bilstein shock and H&R springs, with no front sway bar. You can see them in the back:
Contact patch is everything...
Actually, I guess I didn't word my question very well and since I'm pressed on time I haven't been able to research it. What type of suspension is on the Noble? SLA? Double McPherson? Live axle? How is it designed?
Double wishbone, front and rear. Lee Noble worked on chassis development for the McLaren F1, and, of course, wanted to make his own car handle even better.
