Default SPEED GT Comp. Adjustment

Grand Touring

Dodge Viper Competition Coupe: Change Appendix A base weight from 3200 lbs. to 3100 lbs.

(Note: During the review of the Sebring data it has become obvious that the loss of the ABS system has negatively affected this car much more than the addition of the 305 front tires has helped it, and therefore this car is at a performance deficit.)

but not with a good drive. Sure ABS would help me but not a real pro.

Wouldn't the wet track have affected the Sebring race data? I'd think that the tradeoff of ABS for more front tire would work out better in dry conditions. Archer seemed to do OK with it in the first practice session, but slowed down after that.

Hey, at least they didn't add weight or restrictor ot the Vettes.

The Note should have read:

(Note: During the review of the Sebring data it has become obvious that the Viper Drivers were so sand bagging this car much more than the addition then in previous years first race that of the 305 front tires has and lack of ABS were used as excuses and therefore this car drivers are at a performance deficit.)

As a result, the flogging will continue until moral improves.

But, I am sure that is only bc lou and company broke...I bet if he/they finished, weight or restrictor change would have been a given.
