Can you 'quantify' the caster angle compared to the Kyosho GT, TeamC/OFNA, and the Serpent Cobra GT? I'm seeing the TeamC 'turn under' both the Kyosho and the Cobra. I guess I need to know what I will gain going to Serpent Cobra GT from Kyosho GT. Yes, I have been in the presence of Paolo at Timezone and probably shouldn't need to ask after that kind of performance but I can't get the info from Kyosho on what the effective caster angle is. The Cobra GT is an amazing machine and most likely my next car since it is a 'high level competition' race car.

The 'preliminary' GT rules for ROAR still choke on the 'kickup' I'll probably avoid the TeamC/OFNA even though the OFNA had been 'grandfathered in' at a race and the TeamC not allowed. That's too confusing.
