Not only polar moment, but don't forget CG. Got to keep the CG AHEAD of the
center of pressure too, or around she goes.

I know race cars the need to turn quickly need a low polar moment so that
there is less inertia to overcome when turning. I thought on the other hand
that cars that need to go straight benefit from a resistance to turning
therefore need a high polar moment. Am I wrong in this thinking???

have a LOW polar moment of inertia ....... so do NOT add much weight,
if any, behind the rear axle, in or under the trunk . Keep in mind that
ALL the weight BEHIND the rear axle is levering weight OFF of the
front wheels !!!
