Actually if you want to talk aerodynamics - the RA65 used to start to flip the hood metal around 160 i guess... by that ime I'm less looking at the pretty red paint than I am the stuff in front of it. lol! But keep in mind that the RA6x's used thinner sheet, with a flatter profile than any of the previous model.
I wound up using my audio-insulation foam tape to pad teh bracing to settle it down some for top-speed blasts (nervous)
But the car itself felt like it "settled down" into a real smooth ride around 140-150 and up
The Ma47 didn't hit that place until 160 when it was stock!
All the wanders and such just kind of went away.
Now that it's lowered and stiffer and airdammed and such, it doesn't get that "settle in" feeling! Tho there's no longer the corner-initialisation instability I see in almost all solid-axle Celis anymore either.
Now the faster you go the more solid it feels. I think I'm well on the way to achieving the aerodynamic and suspension effect I'm looing for!

Yes, over the Ton you can really feel it suck down to the road. hehe. drooolz for spring.

The thing I find with most of the new-er dream car-level stuff is more a separation of the man-machine interface.
Like the Mercedes Kompressor I almost leased. VERRRY nice, very smooth, fast, handles...etc.
But you are playing a video game for all the real feeling of the car.
I wonder if the Aston is like that?
