GRE and the Pantsring: A perfect match!!!

Well, those of you who have tried the Pantsring know that in GPL no matter
how high or how stiff (or both) the car is it will still slam into the track
and go careening out of control...

But, have you fooled with GRE yet?  It's kinda sneaky...lets you get wheel
rates as high as 300 lb/in for the front and 400 lb/in for both the rear
springs and the swaybars...and it's the only thing that I have found that
keeps the chassis off of the ground most of the time!!!  Rear end just
wanders around all over 99% of the time, so a lot of rear toe-in is
needed...

Another weird thing...with my setup I somehow stumbled into a strange spot
just above the final transition (and with my steering wheel, an old Formula
T1, doesn't have any spring-back so it will just sit there) where the car
just RAN.  NO wandering, nothing.  I just had to keep the pedal floored, ran
like 5 or 6 laps, setting a PB of 9.40 seconds.  Then I was talkin to
someone and I accidentally lifted, the car started to move up the banking,
and I did a nice aerial maneuver...and tore all four wheels off on the
landing (realistic damage...yet the motor suffered no damage at all! no
smoke/rough revving/fire/explosion!!!)...
