Criticism isn't exactly what I'd call hate. Your cars look fairly good, but they all have a very generic feel to them when it comes to the physics. To be perfectly honest, many of them drive nothing like the car they purport to simulate.
Your Montreal, for example, has some major problems. It has far too much roll stiffness (it feels like a 2019 sports sedan, and handles better than a modern M4) and I only wish that 70's tires had that much grip and precision. Also, there was not a single race car of that vintage that had 3-way dampers. Even F1 cars didn't have them yet. What are they doing on this 70's GT road car? It shouldn't even have adjustable dampers at all. If it did, even the most sophisticated road racers were still using 2-way dampers at best. And most just had adjustable rebound, and then often only on the rear. Additionally, something's wrong with the tire pressures. You've got "60's vintage" street tires with "green" inflation values at 24psi.
It's a street car. It didn't have: adjustable brake bias, adjustable F/R spring rates, or adjustable ARB's. Even my much-more-modern 80's BMW race car didn't have these things (all we could do was adjust diff pre-load, tire pressures, and rebound on the shocks).
Having driven several sports cars of this vintage, I can assure you that none of them felt anything like your creation (sorry).
If you want some good examples of race cars from that era (which had much stiffer suspensions than this road-going Montreal, and yet feel way softer in AC), try Bazza's Group 4 cars to get some idea how far off your physics are vs the real thing.
Hopefully you don't construe all this as "hate". I appreciate what you're doing, and perhaps your mods are aimed more at those using keyboards and gamepads, but they simply don't hold up in the physics department.
