Do small changes and record them each time until you find a setup you like. Don't be afraid to ask tips from the pros. And like always, practice, practice, practice.

Don't dump too much money into the SS, if you're really serious about racing, you might want to consider a high end car as your skills improve.
I totally agree with Dan, especially the last part that says, "Don't dump too much money into the SS, if you're really serious about racing, you might want to consider a high end car as your skills improve."

If I were you, I would sell this one right away. Why? Because I once had it and kept it too long. Took me some time to get rid of it, now I have my real racing car, MTX-2. And, you'll learn a lot from it when you have a good car.
