back to the topic.. my car feels faster in terms of response (acceleration) due to stiffer suspension.. controllability is much better.. its a tad bumpier.. but not as bad as i expect it to be.. so all i need is a better set of tires and then i might be able to keep up with ryan.. but still very uncertain..
yeah i've notice same thing when i dropped in the version 8 takeoff suspension
the car have less roll
i can over power the cheap RE92 much easier.. which is bad...
during those 90 degree turns yesterday.. i couldn't get around tight enough..
i had to cut into the otherside
even at hard braking it felt like the tire was losing grip or maybe it was the brake fading..

easier over steer.. hmm ^__^
if i keep keep throttle up in the turns i have no problem getting through them
but in some of the tighter ones 180 degree U turns.. even with hard braking to decrease entry speed.. i still feel alot of understeer.
i couldn't get the front to turn in tighter.

That one freeway offramp where you always "play on", doesn't count as a touge run. Sorry if I'm too tall to fit in a small car, and don't insult me by calling my car a piece of shiet lowrider impala.

I live 6 miles from my shietty job, no sharp turns or hills, just flat land. So no point in me learning to take a line. My shifting may be "shietty", but it gets me to work and home everyday.
