    Yes, along with the Covet's roll cage and the optional body colored bumpers. I can't give an exact release date as I'm not responsible for when the updates are released.

    I don't really understand why people complain about the Civetta so much. I didn't use it alot, well I have driven it a few times before, but when I tried it again in the latest patch I really enjoyed it. Well yeah it wants to spin when you keep your foot down, but it's perfectly driveable even with a keyboard. Just be careful with throttle. If you are smooth with the throttle it is a blast to drive. I am looking forward to the faster version very much!

    I have a logitech g25 steering wheel second and third gear if u gradually start applying the gas the car pulls to the side. I've driven older cars with power to them and I know how they react. This is just abnormal and I know Gabe has made his fixes to it and I'm excited for the next update.

    suddenly, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-off_oversteer

    while you're not *wrong*, it's really not fair to anyone if you generalize it so much. telling the userbase that they're just driving it wrong does not make anything better - there is no other fast/sporty car in the game, it's fair for people to want one that doesn't just slide everywhere.

    Yes, I fixed this exact problem by softening the tire tread and adjusting the toe on the front and rear. You can floor it from a stop without the car steering anywhere and go all the way up to top speed (at least in my testing) :)

    Did you do this in a previous update or will it be added in the "RACE" update?

    The 390 GTR is starting to resemble a mix of the Lamborghini Countach and maybe a Ferrari 288 GTO.
    Perhaps make a Countach style wing an option? :)

    So, according to Gabe's translations, Civetta Bolide should translate to Owlball Fires. I think. :D

    Nothing says Italian sports car like an animal on fire. Chances are they go pretty damn fast before they become permanently stationary... kinda like an Italian sports car.

    Heuheu I never was skilled in the art of translation. Are your other vehicles translations of something? Maybe one other name could be Gamla Tabellen, which is a beautiful name filled with excitement! :D

    I typed crap into Google Translate (English - > Italian) until something cool-sounding came out :D

    Same, PS. I searched crap into google translate Italian, I got the word merda. For those who are as smart as my bedroom doorknob, in English that is murder.
