Just to add, the FWD has the same arms as the Cero Ultra V2 but uses the...

Not foam tires.

I agree that another Corvette isn't really needed but I would only have it because it is a 200 body. Dumper kept telling me that some guys can't figure out how to get their cars narrowed up. He was...

I will disagree on car adjustability. The CRC that I have is very capable of being tuned to track and tire conditions. Most people just don't want to do it. Our fast guys do that and the slow ones...
