    I really hope this is at least a little better! I've tinkered with this and that, so I hope it's salvageable XD

    @RedHawk Aye, I'll release it for you in just a moment. I've found the problem!!

    Not enough buddy-cop. This car is lacking any and all buddy-cop, and therefor, does not have any stability at high-speeds.

    @OtterOfToast if you want to give me your fixed version I can try down force and see if that will work

    @RedHawk Aye, so-- I fixed the stalling. I haven't, alas, been able to stop the loss of control above about-- 80mph or so. the only remedy I can find is to slow the car down to about 30, which the car does anyway when you do successfully enter a controlled turn. I suppose the turns I'm experimenting with a bit tight. You can easily turn onto a highway at highway speeds in this, I'd reckon, but you can't be as sharp in a faster turn as you could be in real life, I wouldn't think. I'll continue to experiment, I suppose, but I'm not sure how much more I can come up with.

    @RedHawk Aye, so I've fixed the spinning. Now I have the issue of stalling. The car no longer spins away, but instead, stops half-way through a turn and begins backing up on itself-- it's bizarre.

    @RedHawk I have a theory. I decreased the suspension and damper to 50% each-- that seemed to give me a little more control. I found the car got a little bouncy occasionally--
    I think the main issue is that the car is not heavy enough to hold itself down in a high-speed turn. Your front tires, when you turn, lift the car up by an unnoticeable but tangible margin. I'm going to make the car heavier and see what happens.

    Aye, I see what you mean... On my end, it seems to be almost totally at random above 50mph. One turn works fine, the next, I lose traction.
    Other than Tokyo drift, I'm not sure what the cause is.
    Give me a moment to poke around, I'll see what I can do.
