, and went to park. As I pulled in to a relatively normal sized curb, I heard the painful sound of the front cowling being ground and torn. :shock: I slowwwwwlllly backed away (not easy in a CC, I tell you) and prepared myself for the worst. "One reason to lower the car : during the test of my next new GT (not lowered), I (re)discover the car understeer a lot, the front wheels skid a lot. Some others people said after a track day the front tyres was destroyed. My previous car was lowered, the car oversteer a bit at high speed and the front tyres wear less than the rears."
Most sports cars are designed to understeer. This way when you go into a turn too hot, the normal reaction of lifting off the gas is less likely to cause a spin. On the track, too much understeer makes you slower so you want a more neutral balance. I wouldn't be comfortable on the street with a car that oversteers. The track is a different story.
My stock coupe CC has pretty crappy handling compared to other sports cars I've had. Instead of trying to "fix" this, I'll be content that the car looks cool, has real back seats and plenty of power. Too bad the Grandsport came out after I bought mine. I hear they improved the handling quite a bit.
