That's it. No return smack down. Now I am worried.
Ok
Tested all three of the proposed FF cars and they are. . . FF cars. If you all like these plow pigs speak up and we can run them. The alpha was probably the most entertaining and I was on the cs tires. A bump in power and tires would many help some. I just never understood the fun in plowing in to and out of corners. These are just like the omni glh race cars I tested back in the early 90s.
For the most part I can tune these issues out if this is going to be a tuner series. The civic sauce and I ran in the HH series was a blast once I got it tuned.

Run a step or two down on the rear tires. That makes the FF cars quite fun. I like the Mito on CS front, CH rear.
The spec stock Integras where not that bad.
I have driven better pickups.

Yep. That is a fun way to run these
Maybe we leave tire choice open on the ff cars. RH or less your choice.

Try my Alfa with SH tires for a couple of laps, it's better. I'm not going to suggest any stock cars with Comfort anything this season (since I struggle with them some 
) I will test a few cars for a stock series later today, with just a possible tire change. I do have a suggestion, but I want to have at least a 3 car list.
I'm never a fan of FF or anything on Comfort tires but I will leave it to you guys as I will be a part-timer at best.
Dean, the Alfa is better on SH tires, but does still have a tendency to understeer. It's a bit like the Garaiya in that you have to get it set up for the corner a certain way, and if you get it right it's quite rewarding. If not, then the front end wants to wash out.
I thought the mm-R was actually quite neutral and only really pushed if you came in too hot or were on the gas too hard too early,though with such low power and RH tires the latter didn't happen often for me.
The Integra requires patience with the throttle or it will push badly at exit. That is a car that I think would really benefit from some tuning.
How bout reviving the ice race series? That was a riot.
In reply to Spoolpigeon:
I'd be down for a rally/low grip series but I think it would require a fair amount of testing that we don't have time for before this series starts. Not a bad idea for next time though.
At the end of the day I don't really care what we run as long as the fields are close and we have good racing.
In reply to e30Matt:
We should try one after the F40.

But Spool keeps showing up no matter what we do!
What was the ice racing again? Was that 4wd cars on comfort hards?

Specifically rally cars. Of course we could use street cars to try to keep a GRM theme. Like excluding the EVO and WRX/STi to force variety. I just remember that series as being stupid fun. Huuuuuuuuuuge 4wd drifting for majority of the time.
OK, I think I remember that one. As I remember we ran an event at the small Matterhorn track, and ended up with a massive CF in one of the super tight hairpins!
Ok, I tested some slightly off beat cars (buy all of these), and these are how much I like them in order:
Pagani Zonda C12'00
Shelby Series One Super Charged '03
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR P.P. '07
TVR Tuscan Speed 6' 00
Subaru Impreza WRX STI spec C '09
Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R '00
Audi TTS Coupe '09
If the Evolution X is too close to the earlier Evolution series you guys did because it's the newest car, we can skip it. The Zonda is not surprising that it's the best car, but the big surprise I found is that the Tuscan Speed 6 isn't clearly 2nd, or even challenge the Zonda for the best out of the group. TVR should have been able to make it better stock, IMO. The Zonda is pricey, but we all can earn 300,000 or so credits real quick with one of the seasonal events.

I have been testing these and I have found that weight is much more important than hp. I am going to test these all again all set to a common minimum eight. And see what that does.
In reply to dean1484: Is this something that we're testing for this series?
And my car list is all stock with SH tires.
In reply to Mr_Clutch42:
I am seeing if there is a formula to run these as a modern mucel car series. And i think I have found it
1550 kg min 510 pp max RH tires Trans to what ever it defaults to Race suspension to default
So far these seem very equal and there is quite a diversity in cars and how they handle.
I am testing as I type this
Testing at gve with the 1550/510 ruel set
