Re: GEN I VS GEN II at the track (Roadcourse)
My personal experience at Willow Springs, RT or GTS doesn't matter as much as Gen I and Gen II. I roadraced my 2000 RT/10 and alot in my OTC partner's 2002 GTS and except for ABS they handled the same at 10/10ths. I was instructing MannyC who is now an accomplished road racer back when he had his Gen I, he asked me to drive it hard with him as a passanger to it's limit to see where that was.
Man I'll tell you that car was all over the place, the suspension geometry was soooo much worse then a gen II with the worse part being how "a$$ happy" the car was. That rear wanted to swing out on every turn, I hadda stay in the gas to plant, something I don't think a novice could do.
Basically in my experience it was extremely difficult to hot lap a track I knew like the back of my hand in a Gen I, where as it was a cake walk in a Gen II very predictable, my $.02
