I think part of the issue is the open differential. That will make it harder to put the power down in the sweepers. Also, what rear gears do you have in the car? The issue the V6 faces is that it's hard to keep the car in the power and hard to dig out of slow elements. That's where rear gears, an aluminum driveshaft and an aluminum flywheel provide big benefits. Without them, it can be hard to keep the revs up. The solution is to feed throttle in early, but that can lead to losing grip with an open differential. It's a delicate balance. But finding that balance will improve your autocross skills. The other solution is to put in a Traction-Lok differential. Do you think you could've replaced the braking at 0:32-0:34 with a partial lift? It's always hard to judge a course from a video, so I could be wrong. When I drive my V6 I have to remind myself to eliminate braking more than in my GT. Braking, then having to accelerate back up to speed really hurts in a V6. I tend to lift a little and let my 3.55 rear gears slow me down, shifting weight forward ahead of my turn. That allows me to get right back in the gas after the turn. The shimmy could've been the rear end getting some traction back. It's hard to tell.</blockquote>
