You know, you coould just post the code in the code archives and update the archive post each time you release a new version. :-)

The car seems to slide better now, but I liked the older versions better.

Because:

1. It was harder for the car to do seemingly impossible things, like flip over suddenly, or fly into the air. The first thing I did in this demo was hit a ramp a tthe wrong angle because the car was ward to control and it went flying miles into the air.

2. The car now is very very hard to control because it slides around like mad.


These things aside, the new physics do seem better. The car slides around better now, and I imagine the issues above can be corrected by tweaking some of the settings for mass and slip and friction.
