As for fixing, well a new chassis only runs $1K or so and might be a decent way to go, since the rest of the car wasn't exactly spectacular in the first place. Or the easier option I'm leaning towards is a hammer, a little bondo an a few new parts. Just need to decide if I want to continue my efforts of making a Grand Touring car a car that turn or not. If I go with a new chassis I won't be gutting it.
Hmm... Trying to picture this in my head... Turn 7 is a slight left into turn 8 which is a slight right before the cloverleaf?? I have lost it between 7/8 as I tried taking it without stopping at all. I made 7 but lost the rear sliding off the outside of the track at 8 and did 2 complete circles before stopping. I can't remember any walls there as I slid FAR off the track. I have also spun out on the clover leaf turn as I was a little heavy on the gas pedal and did a complete cicle on the pavement before sliding off the track. Both times were in James' viper I am pretty confident the car will never roll unless I hit something while sliding.
