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.

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?
