   4/5,

   Version: 1.5

   Well deserved 4 stars with the 1.5 version!
   
   The understeer has been mostly fixed, the car is less wobbly, feels nice to drive at high speed. Brakes have been improved, too. Not quite the grip to really be a hypercar, a little too easy to slide. I'd call it an AWD muscle car. Similar to my Tercaro, or what I imagine the Black Mamba would handle like, if it had AWD and ESC.
   
   All in all, I like it. But it's just too heavy and slide-y to be a sports car. AWD muscle car is about right. Would probably make a very fun powersliding car, if the F/R power delivery was tuned more front-bias.

   I like it but you should lower it to make it more like a supercar.

   If anything, I think I liked your previous version better. This one feels too floaty at high speeds. No more understeer, you fixed that, but just a general lack of grip in high speed corners. I think you need more front and rear aero, and I think you need wider tires (not sure how heavy your car is, but it "feels" heavy while cornering. Could be the weight itself, or it could be too soft a suspension. Also the body roll is still there. Lot of sway and weight transfer during cornering. Not to put too fine a point on it, but when an AWD car feels more floaty then some of the RWD cars I driven, that's not a good sign XD .
   
   Still a 4 stars, and again, if not for the design, it would be 3 stars. I honestly thing your previous version was better.

      Hmm alright ill be doing lots of testing over the weekend to get this right.
      Also the whole car and engine is made of aluminum so it weighs about 2 and a quarter tons. Which now that i think about it is still really heavy, ill fix that too soon.

   Much improved! Now the drivability deserves a 4 star rating. Feels much more responsive, much less understeer (but still present). Good job. :) Still not a 5 though, the suspension could use a little more stiffening, still feels a bit floaty. And the tires are still a touch too high, IMO. But way better then before. And the brakes are better, too!

      Thanks! Yeah im working on getting the tuning better still, the update was just a quick fix so its more steady until i get it right. Again thanks for your reviews they're helping me get this car just right!

   Like the other review said, Its a very good car, and looks amazing. But the understeer is holding it back. Increasing the front downforce (Via canards or invisible wing) and making the rear lighter can help. Wish you the best!

   4/5,

   Version: 1.0

   Beautiful styling and interior. I'll give an extra point just for that, since I LOVE it. :)
   
   Drivability is... meh, though. Not bad, stays glued to the road, but it's limited in what it can do at speeds. You've got some pretty severe understeer in this car, especially at high speeds, the steering just gives out, and you end up going straight (into a rockface on Utah, in my case XD ). Now I prefer understeer to oversteer, but this is just too much of it. ESC makes it worse, if anything, I drove it with it on and off, and I have to say the understeer is a little less when ESC is off, while the handling stays mostly the same. You might want to omit ESC from this car, it's not helping it at all (AWD is enough to keep the thing planted).
   
   How to fix it? I think it has too much rear aero. Rear end is *too* stable, and doesn't swing out at all during high speed cornering, so the turning circle gets bigger. You might want to tone it down just a notch. Also the brakes are pretty weak. Loosen the front swaybars, tighten the rear ones, to make the car "sink in" more during braking, to the front. Also put more front-bias on the brakes, and improve cooling (they overheat pretty easily).
   
   And the suspension is pretty soft. Tire walls are too high. Lower the tire profiles, enlarge the wheels. Too much body roll, and it doesn't help the understeer issue. Tighter springs and dampers would help too. There's a reason sports cars have low-profile tires and stiff suspension.
   
   4/5 (3/5 if the styling wasn't so good).

      My word this is the best in-depth review yet! Thank you for liking the body work! and as for the understeer and everything else i will work on it right away! I've been slowly tuning the car but i either got too much understeer or too much oversteer so your ideas might just do it! Again thank you for your review!
