I may be the only one...but I'd really like to see some sort of Corvette body on this now! Also could you expand on what you did for the dampers?

Take a look at the TA05 IFS and the Tenth Technology streetwise for inboard suspension inspiration if that's your kind of thing.

A corvette body would look good! I was thinking of fitting a WGT pan car type body on it too! The friction damper is very simple. All it is are nitrile o-rings, washers and card stock cut to shape (slipper clutch like but in between the suspension arms and mounts.) To adjust dampening, all you do is add spacer clips of different thicknesses.

One change that I think EVERY touring car should have is a true double-wishbone where the top of the caster block is held by two triangulated links that control the caster as well as the camber, like the Awesomatix. CASTER is a very useful tuning parameter and I think a lot of racers don't play with it and get the advantage because step 1 of changing CASTER is take the front end of your perfectly good racecar apart.
