I need to work on creating the correct font for the Daytona car numbers... but this will do for now.

I feel like that stock Camaro suspension would be showing the body roll a lot more than that. infact it looks flat as a plane ground around those mountain corners..

Well, I am sure Turn 10 are modelling a NEW 1979 suspension, not an old wore out one - there is a fair amount of body roll, but I also believe it is being offset by the sever lack of grip. The more grip, the more body roll. Perhaps the lack of body roll is more of a damning of their tyre model than the anything else...

...or perhaps you are expecting a 1979 Camaro to suck a lot more thna it does LOL.

I might redo the car with a full upgraded suspension set to full soft to mirror a wore out 30 year old suspension.

I figured it might be more useful to start a new thread instead of continuing to clutter the GT-R 4 sale thread

http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...554#post872554

By popular request (sort of) - a more "realistic" 1979 Z28 handling setup...
