My car is completely stock. I actually noticed the problem last year at the track, but I just thought it was the decline of my driving skills and being older that were causing myself to slow down. While I still believe that to be true, I do find it weird the car is leaning all over the place. Someone who was following me had shots of my car leaning all over the place in the turns, my car just had uncontrollable sway. In the car, I had no confidence whatsoever when driving. Unfortunately I never had a chance to run against other stock cars as everyone I saw was modded. I ended up being about 3 seconds behind a Mustang 5.0 with coilovers and exhaust, 4.5 sec behind a 997.2 GT3 and 4 sec behind a Camaro SS with coilovers and exhaust in a 3 miles track. To make it worse, the stupid car started to slow down later in the day for whatever reason too. I think I took some bad advice and drove a different line, I ended up losing a second on that.

I also believe the grip provided by the RS3 is really magnifying the issue too.

Oh yeah, the freaking diff was starting to act up too. I think it became an open diff in the later sessions, causing massive inner wheel spins.

No logs yet, too tired to do anything now
