Impressive.
Hey spencer, it feels better than ever but the surface was so wet it's hard to say for sure. I was sliding in every corner which was fun and great practice for me with car control which
is what I have been really wanting for a while. The driving characteristics of this car are still not known but seems to be changing for the better.
The car in the past had a real bad tendency to push. On that wet surface the front stayed really planted, it was the rear that was loose. Finally was able to steer with the rear of the car either locking the brakes or goosing the gas would pivot the car around the front tires. Hopefully it stays that way on a dry surface.
As far as it picking up a tire, that's exactly why I put the camera back there. It felt like if it wasn't picking up a rear tire it was close to it. The forward momentum seemed to be lacking coming out of the corners I think because the posi doesn't work well when one of the tires is lightly loaded. It will just spin whichever tire is lightly loaded.
I probably should have taken the rear sway bar loose for the wet conditions but not that serious just trying to get some seat time.
Thanks for checking out my video thread and commenting !
