It has a very straight line charachteristic curve when processed in Xtol 1:3. My times are about 14minutes at 68F. With a straight line you need to watch exposure on very dark and very light vehicles. If it is a black car you might have to open up possibly one stop to record detail if you have a majority black car frame. Likewise, you might also have to add a stop or so if the vehicle is very light and fills the frame. If in doubt, also carry a roll or two of a film that you are comfortable with.
