Was just running some laps around Apricot Hill in my Trans Am I was tuning for spec-racing and noticed the front wheels were slightly clipping through the ground. It wasn't due to heavy braking, it does it in the garage preview screen as well.

And on Apricot Hill. Please note I was traveling in a straight line and not braking in both photos. The first photo is on a completely flat piece of the course, while the second photo was slightly downhill, showing how awful the clipping can be.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a bug that was introduced in the new patch? Is it the choice of wheel? Choice of tire? Apologies in advance if this has already been covered, but a GTPlanet search resulted in nothing relevant to this.
Edit: Sorry about the quality, photos taken on a Samsung Galaxy S3. Also noticed the logo on the side of the car looks to read 'TAANS AM' instead of 'TRANS AM'. :lol:
 
It's not an issue on only the T/A and seems to have to do with lowered front ends and fender clearance (I first noticed it on the Jag E-Type). Seems the developers feel it's better to have tires disappear through the road surface than poke through the fenders.

Ahh, so it's not just the Firebird. Kinda curious now what other cars have this problem. :confused:
 
It doesn't bother me a great deal as I don't see it whilst driving. Just now seeing how bad the decals on that car really are, though.
