Car was soft but would run anywhere on the track
so very easy to drive like yours... tried autocrossing it
once and to me soft is not the way to go in an autocross car
Now I am trying to figure things out as I go plus keep
the Firebird running.. I hate dead cars
Pantera is like your Lotus in handling department.. sticks
great but as you say do not let off in a turn or brake otherwise
it is hard to stop it from spinning.. I have only spun it once on
the track on cold tires and once in front of the world at Optima

Chet absolutely drives the wheels off that car! I've followed him enough to be able to make that statement! He needs to maintain it better - but that's a different discussion.
Here’s what makes me a Sutton Fanboi…. you have no idea how good it (the suspension) can be until you’ve done it - and then you kick yourself for ever having driven such a POS - when it could have been so good.
Only when you’ve driven “ok” or “bad” can you then compare to what is fantastic.
I’m no longer looking for anything “better” — I think this is as good as it can get, given my skinny tire leaf spring car (245's squared)… and the only reason I think that is, because I’m able to run guys down from half a track back before they can get two more turns in…. WTF more do you want than that for a “track day” car. I can say with fact that the CAR allows me to drive that way. It's not my skills. If I had skills, the car would be far faster.
