- X Pattern tires (still legal here)

had to add a bit of weight to make minimum but was quite fun.

One thing I am questioning though is that coming from my VTA car, I have it such that I can rotate quickly through the turns, even got some comments on that. My USGT though feels like its drifting the rear end versus planting and turning if that makes sense.

Part of my wonders if its the body, other part, setting.

When you guys see a condition like this, where the rear end is "drifting" around the track, what do you guys do to get more traction on that end? I was going to soften the suspension up a tad back there, maybe some roll center changes.
carpet or outdoor ?
camber & toe in ??
softer rear, lower rear inner camber, narrow rear width will all increase traction.
What tire sauce u using and how much ??
