I switched the green springs to the front and red to the rear. Now it grips, and it steers beautifully. The Sophia GT body works a little better, but the Protoform C6-R Corvette body still dominates. When I didn't coat the front tires with Jack the Stripper, the Sophia GT was pushing way too much into turns. The Corvette was SOLID!! I coated the front tires, the Sophia GT was a little better, but still was pushing. The Corvette was much better since I could push into turns harder.
I am trying to wonder why the doorstop design was chosen. If it was to provide more downforce, I only see it in the rear. The front grip is vague at best. But as far as I understood it, and reading John Stranahan's post, don't you WANT a higher nose to provide better downforce for the front? And if the nose is low, shouldn't you use a front lip? I am not liking the Sophia GT body still.
I may try the Parma Aston Chicky Doorstop-9 next. Hopefully that body will provide better results.
Score: Scale "Realism" 2. Doorstops .5 (because of great rear downforce and adjustable wing position).
