good find... I read the whole thing, a good read...
if anyone owns the origional gran turismo for playstation then there is a drivers manual that has a lot of the same information and a lot of information on weight distrobution etc... that is also a good source of info... remember, most of what applies to a 1:1 car applies to the xmods as well.
