Also, has anyone tried the Skoda 2 body with a different (higher downforce rear wing)??? I have yet to paint my body up and was thinking of doing so, but from what I can gather, the Skoda 2 provides plenty of steering and has very little rear downforce/grip. Is this correct???
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

But I think Mazda 6 and the Stratus 3.0 seem to have a little more turn in for me. Good Luck Man!!

Hey Brant,

finally, i hear of someone(s) doing better than they did before and they didnt get the x-ray! 
my track is filled with the x-ray sheep, even though our store barley carries enough parts for it. besides, if the xray is so good, why did they copy off of someone else? *cough**cough*tamiya*cough**cough*
