[DeTomaso] AutoX Yesterday

I would like a bit lighter effort for steering at lower speeds. At higher
speeds, I don't mind the car's direct steering with incredible feedback of
every pebble in the road.

The car was corner balanced (within reason though; perfect balance meant it
looked weird) and aligned with the car suspension and track in mind. I have
the usual mods; more caster on the front, 7/8" dia sway bars, etc. I
definitely need better tires if I want to be competitive, but I'm running
what I have for now to learn how to drive the car on the track better.

   I would like a bit lighter effort for steering at lower speeds. At
   higher speeds, I don't mind the car's direct steering with incredible
   feedback of every pebble in the road.A
   The car was corner balanced (within reason though; perfect balance
   meant it looked weird) and aligned with the car suspension and track in
   mind. I have the usual mods; more caster on the front, 7/8" dia sway
   bars, etc. I definitely need better tires if I want to be competitive,
   but I'm running what I have for now to learn how to drive the car on
