If anyone beat the Normal Car Cup, what car did you beat it with? I went with the Dodge Viper RT/10 even though the sugested one is the GTS. The RT/10 is a few hundred pounds lighter with the same HP.

Yup, I used the FD RX-7 '91 Type R, in various forms, to win nearly all series in my last game. I haven't tried to beat the NSX in the Normal (yet), but instead reloaded until it was not there.Originally posted by SportWagon
I should be able to get similar results with the much cheaper 1991 RX-7 Type R, as well as the nearly identical new RX-7 Type RB Bathurst. The Touring X has a substantial weight penalty, however.
For a fully-modded RX-7 (tuned or [R]) softish springs and dampers (e.g. left close to what they are when you fit the Racing Suspension) but stiff stabilizers of 5F/4R seemed to work for me to stop most bouncing. (And get rid of that dreadful final oversteer). Oh yes. Keep the ride height pretty high, too. I went down only to 109/109.Originally posted by SpeedRaca
The suspension on RX-7's is really unstable. i.e. Like run a kerb around a moderately fast corner and one side of your car will start bunny hopping. And when you think thats bad, you go do all mods to the car and watch how bad it gets then - bunny hopping the whole way around a corner, that can lose you a good 5 seconds.
