That's awesome Don. I knew the Stealth was more capable with a good driver as opposed to me. My Mugello Short time was 57.4xx so I am happy to see that it can be better. I will send you mine after work this evening if you could compare it to yours.
Heya alpizzle...
I played with your Stealth for a bit. It certainly has a faster top-end than mine.
Best I could do with it around Mugello Short was
56.721. This might be due to the fact that my driving style favors handling over speed, and if I ran another couple-hundred laps with it (I only ran about 40), I could probably shave that a little bit. But, to me anyway, the car frequently felt like it was floating above the track... had a lot of trouble keeping it on the track, and found it very tough to get smooth on the turn combinations.
I pulled out my version of the Stealth again, and after just a couple laps managed a
55.741 (which is
0.132 off of my previous best). That 1-second difference is not really huge, and the two cars could still be competitive against each other.
However, with my "handling" Stealth, I can fairly consistently run under
56.500, whereas with your "speed" Stealth, I could only break
57 on every 4th or 5th lap - mainly because I was usually off in the grass. Again, that may be due in large part to my driving style, and I expect I could become a bit more consistent with it after time.
And, as one might guess, your version would likely beat mine on the more speed-biased tracks.
I'll send your car back to you --- I made a copy of your build, so if you tweak the setup and want additional feedback, you can just let me know what to change.
