The new Reedy mod coming out was made for oval racing (oval is 4 cell racing), not touring. You can use it however you like, but it was built with the idea to turn left foremost in mind.
Wilfred,
it always depends on the driver. Belted cars aren't bad, indeed many prefer them, just as many feel that shafts are better as well... don't shoot me for an opinion. More opinions would of course be more helpful. You can also search this topic on this forum as it is very contreversial and has been endlessly discussed (and yes, I know you want Barry's answer, just trying to help you a little).
I agree with losirob about the body styles and how they affect handling.
