I abuse the absolute crap out of the Ford, it doesn't generate engine damage below the Rev limiter so seems fine along as you manage your downshifts ok. Chevy starts to hurt around 7500 and the limiter is somewhere above that. If you stick with the chevy remember to keep under 7500 (change around 7000, especially the early gears) and make damn sure it can't get above 7500 in top anywhere.
Driving wise they understeer horrifically, this is actually useful but you need to drive around it - wait until you can open up on corner exits, this is normally later than you think but will make you much faster onto straights.
I'm still getting my head around how useful the aero is so not sure to comment yet, I've generally run more front than rear when I've actually had wings at all...

Bob,
Brake early and concentrate on getting the car pointed into the apex, wait till you're sure it is all lined up nicely, then feed in the power and fire it down the next straight. The important bit is braking early and under control so you can nail that apex every time! Braking too late will either make you go straight on and miss the turn OR if you lift the brakes too soon to make the turn it will turn in too hard and then try to spin.

Cheers Pete - it wasn't the srou server that was my concern though. The entire lobby was down. I've got it back now though and can see the Lola race thanks.
