I don't recall my M03 being on the roof all the time nor finishing anywhere near last.. not that we cared as we drove our m-chassis for fun. Serious racing was with TC's.

M-chassis to this day to me is for fun. That doesn't mean my cars don't drive well. Why bother spending all this money on different m-chassis if they all drove on their roofs! One would be plenty.
Sakadachi, Granpa tried to explain things to you previously, I will also, hopefully you will understand this time. This is a public forum, where ideas are freely discussed. Your post is up for scrutiny and so is all of mine. This is also predominantly a racing forum, and the original poster, CSeils, is asking a racing question. Your idea "I run full droop" WILL NOT WORK for CSeils situation (carpet with S grips) therefore your post was incorrect, and it therefore required my follow up fact that CSeil's car will be on its roof for most of the race, should he follow your suggestion. My comment was neither rude, nor mean, but yes I am a bastard.

If CSeils was looking for setup changes on a small indoor track, and his aim was pure 'fun' driving and not competitive racing(I highly doubt he would bother asking setup advice if he was indeed driving for fun), then I wouldn't comment on something I know nothing about, and your comment would be very welcome. But this is not the case in this situation. I hope in the future, you can be more cautious about your advice, and whether it fits the situation for the person asking the questions. HTH
