Stability (rear end staying in line, car not 'jumping' or feeling skittish in turns)
Ranking (1-10): ____1___I’d give this a zero if I could
Grip (start-offs, how much power can be used without the drive wheels losing traction? Does the car oversteer excessively?)

Final Thoughts: _Absolutely undriveable. I was unable to complete a single lap without spinning out no matter how slow I went. The extreme (and unbalanced) settings conspire to make an already twitchy car positively evil.

Final Thoughts:VQUICK’s comment that he slapped this together and drove it two laps inspired me to give the same amount of effort judging it.

Final Thoughts:At first I thought this would be my winner as it FEELS very quick. But the setup that actually tames this car’s understeer does at the cost of too much rear end instability at high speed.

Final Thoughts: Very understeery but nevertheless the quickest this week. This was the only car that could be really hustled through the high speed turns without worrying that the rear would come around
Overall comment: The challenge this week was to tame the relentless understeer as well as lift-throttle oversteer of this car. Both ChromeBallz and Paragon had decent setups but I have the feeling that taking some front downforce away would provide better high-speed balance while having minimal impact on low-speed understeer.
