Noob here, Looking to autocross my S650 GT with PP. I feel car handles like a boat. But I do want to stay in FS class. according to google I can't do much, other than adjust to max allowable camber car can handle as per factory specs limits, drop in filters,cat back exhaust and one sway bar. My car already has active exhaust stock, I thought about adding MBRP H pipe. Maybe Steeda 1 3/8 front sway bar or should I go rear? On top will do an alignment a shop can maximum squeeze out of the car but but within factory specs, I know there isn't much of adjustment available. Any recommendations folks? I previosuly had ZL1 1LE for comparison that is why I say Stang handles like a boat.
 
Welcome to TMO and FS is a tough class but you are asking the right questions. Tires will make a huge difference and the current data being seen at SCCA National Tours is that the RE71RZ is the " Gold Standard." Get the alignment maxed in front and do a bit less in the rear. Example if you get -1.85 in front do something around -1.35 in the rear. There are quite a few very solid autocrossers on here and I am sure you will get more info. I ran FS over 3 decades ago and even today it is still a competitive and fun Class. Even though many here are running CAMC , there are a couple of my good friends running F Street and I hope they will pop in here to offer some thoughts. Hang in there , it is a great Class to start your autocross adventure.
