AT Cobra Venom 427 Review
First off I would like to say thanks for not adding more power to the engine, because it definetely does'nt need anymore. While checking out the settings and applying them everything generally seemed were they should be. The ride height was kind of a suprise, with it being slammed to the grown. I soon found out this wouldn't have a negative effect (not on GVS) and there was no bottoming out and behaviors of that sort.
The first lap was definitely the most memorable. Yes, the car does slide (alot), but I made drifting look easy in this AT tuned machine. With some experienced throttle control and counter-steering with the DS2 I could pretty much slide around any corner in a four wheel drift, and keep a straight and sexy comnposure. I learned that the grass and rumble strip could be a definite danger. One rear wheel unleveled on a rumble strip or on the grass can lead to an epic failure. Drifting was fun but, it doesn't win races so going into the second lap I kept that in mind.
Lap number two, i've managed to get a feel for the car and its behavior now. Keeping it straight seemed pretty easy. I use second gear more than anything else for the majority of the track. Theres no understeer, great turn in, no complaints concerning the brakes, the only issue was the oversteer. But it wasn't really a problem. I'll be working on getting to the laptime you (nd) have recorded. But in the meanwhile I guess i'll keep you updated.
Overall rating? I'd probably give it a 9 out of 10. Its not perfect but it is pretty freakin awesome. Though I wouldn't want to take it out for an endurance race, I believe with a few tweaks to the rear end this car could possibly be a great all around vehicle. If this is something I should expect to see in future TC competitions, I guess I better get work on a counter attack.
PS: I'll try to record a decent lap time later on, i'm super tired rite now..,
