I want to say the VARA cars I've seen are set up 'too twitchy,' but I also have to say that they seem to be driven really well and they go like stink. And full disclosure: I keep getting better lap times as I dial out the push on my car with shocks and sways.
Are you allowed to put a sheet of plastic or aluminum on the underside of the cars in VARA?

Ohhh great no excuses now.
Now I have something to shoot for. That looks much faster in 8 than what I do.
Loose is fast...to a point. Yes, we are lighter. My 2.5L puts out 210hp to the wheels. It makes me wonder since we are lighter, that the lift created is still the same except exaggerated on the light car. Hence the "Too Twitchy" effect.
As far as a sheet of plastic under the car, The Datsun Z guys would notice that in a second. lol
