Am I the only one who thought that the function of the scuttle
bar
might be to decrease torsional forces & chassis flex (with the possible
secondary benefit of more side impact integrity)? And, if so, wouldn't
this probably stiffen (not soften) the ride somewhat and possibly help
'getting (some) corners right' (and maybe a little faster or more
consistantly)?
Someone please disabuse me of my delusions...I probably don't
have the
talent, time or money to do this anyway.
