The handling of this car is brilliant. Great fun to drive. Looks pretty decent too. Great to see it in the replay bouncing here and there as you search for laptime lol

However, the sounds... there's some distortion there I believe, especially from what I suppose are the wind sounds as the car reaches speed. The engine sounds are also a little distorted too. Perhaps they are too loud and some clipping is taking place. I can help with this if you like.

Otherwise, a great little mod, just needs some final touching up to be 5 stars :)

Excellent physics and it's real good looking in and out - very well made! Would be awesome if the creator put out some more mods of this quality of a car from 2015 onwards to keep AMS current.

5 stars for the car/handling/physics, but probably 3 stars for the sounds. The car itself is an incredibly fun, forgiving car to drive. Slides can be caught and its very predictable. Maybe one of the most fun cars I've driven in a sim. Probably a mix of a great car and initial setup file.

I had to overhaul the audio file in order to be able to race the car more than a minute. I will add a comment in the feedback thread regarding my sound issues and fixes. It is a combination of the engine sounds being too loud/harsh and some high frequency noises that some people may not be able to hear that occur in the background. With the audio changes I'm able to drive the car for hours and really enjoy it. Thanks for the amazing mod!

It is really good, but also good can be better.

Sounds would need balancing as compared to other content volume level of engine sound is really loud.

Gear display has areas common potential improvement, even professionals tend to miss details on those.

But if you observe edges of numbers on LCD display as well as how each segment is not flat single value in red, replicating real thing in texture would improve visual appearance a lot.

Also notice how black is not flat RGB 0,0,0 texture work there could greatly improve look.

Also gear display is flush with the dashboard, but that often is not the case, so bit more colors to edges could improve visual appearance, IRL there rarely is such sharp transition, like original warning lights sit in kind of crease:

Also instrument cluster in mod appears to be somehow mix of different generations.

Really small things considering how much fun this car is race, but thought I point out some information that might possible help modder to reach even higher levels.

Even Studio 397 struggles with leds and there are many similar room for improvement in gear displays of commercial games, such displays are what are on view constantly when racing, so improvements there give quite lot back I think.

Great updates to the physics. Interior engine sounds have some gaps and pops, though.
