Benn;
If the center of pressure (CP) is ahead of the center of mass (CM), aka,
"cg", the car will be inherently unstable at speed.

Subject: center of pressure vs c.g. (again)
So does anyone have any qualitative handling results with changing the
center
of (side-view) pressure from, say, 0-3" inches behind the c.g. to moving
the
c.of p. say 10-14" in front of the c.g.? Is the former really dicey in
a mild
crosswind?
