i went through all of that because I wanted to show I do have some experience in car setup before making suggestions to others.
A couple of the things I found is that a car setup for a track isn't necessarily going to handle it's best at an autocross and visa versa. It has to do with speed and corner radius. A car set up for the slower tighter corners of an autocross will oversteer like crazy on the much bigger faster turns of a track. And a car setup for the bigger faster turns of a track will understeer in the tighter slower corners of an autocross. Also when getting on the throttle at the track the torque does not have as much effect on both wheel spin and front to rear weight transfer as in the lower gears at an autocross.
Also a very wise man once told me. "Do what everyone else does and you will merely be competitive. Do something different and you will win."
That comment came right after, "If you hung a bag of **** on your front bumper and set FTD, everyone else would start running with a bag of **** on their front bumper wouldn't they?"
