No problem. I've also been using data logging to help convince me to decrease the angle of attack on my wing. I think too much angle is a common problem that people are running into without realizing it. It think it's a bit counterintuitive that the center section needs to be flat or even a positive angle relative to the ground, since its airflow is actually coming off the roof. It looks...uncomfortable, but it's faster!

Are you just comparing top speed on the straights to decided how much is too much, or are you saying if lap time x is better with lower wing then that is better. Just curious how you are comparing wing angle to benefit.
Additionally I looked at the lateral acceleration, to make sure it wasn't noticeably decreasing, and of course lap times.

I have the same alignment on the car I drive on the street. It's the first thing I'd do to any S I own, and I wouldn't even consider leaving the stock alignment as is (Mostly because it's crap).
In short, do eeet!

Just the alignment from the FAQ. On that particular car, the alignment looks something like this:
Camber: F -1.7, R -2.2
Toe-in: F Slightly out, R 1/16"
On my street car the camber is the same, but my toe in the front is set at 0, and my rear toe-in is 1/4".
Camber: F -1.7, R -2.2
Toe-in: F Slightly out, R 1/16"
On my street car the camber is the same, but my toe in the front is set at 0, and my rear toe-in is 1/4".

I co-drive this one. Hopefully we'll see some of you at Topeka this year.

The actual alignment on that car:
Camber: 1.8F, 2.3R
Caster: as much as possible up front, around 6.5 degrees
Toe: about 3/16" out front (going to drop that to almost zero), a little more than 3/16" in rear
For the record, I didn't hit that cone.
