Who else likes the Jag?

When I first drove it it was awful. But you have to fully loosen the front roll bar, add +0.2 in tow in, fully stiffen rear springs and it handles amazingly. You can get the back out under breaking into almost any corner and go through the corner sideways (I've also since discovered you can also do similar things with a 2.0 automatic 190E... ).

Why is it so easy to get the back out on it and hold it? Is it to do with the suspension, weight balance or what? Compared to similar layout cars like the mustang it is much easier and more benign. In fact the mustang is live rear axle so you would think it would be easier to slide about in?

Forgot about this thread as I went away off roading on the land rover experience!

Yes I meant the Mk II Jag.

I haven't got round to modding the physics to make any crazy cars yet in GTL - an xbox 360 for my birthday has put a bit of a hold on that. But hopefully I can create some oddness for people to try out!
