I've never spun the car but at VIR with the bars set second hole from soft and rear full soft{Mike L's setting} it felt like the rear end was going to come around on me going up the S's. When I changed the rear to second hole from soft it became what to me is neutral. The car takes a set in turns and remains stable through the corner. My car doesn't understeer, at least in my opinion, doesn't oversteer either, again in my opinion.

Bob has it right, stiffer rear bar stops the rear body roll and gives a more planted, stable feeling and I like it better that way.

Dave, isn't your car's suspension completely different than mine? So is the weight.

Tony, I agree with you, it's time for someone like Dr John to drive it. I always try and catch a ride along with my instructor if they are up for it.
