circumstances

My old Alpine wouldn't hit 130 mph falling from the SKY, let a lone on the
road. Nope, Most hard braking was down il on widy roads, at about 60 to 70
tops....

Actually, this is more of a drivers setup choice. I prefered it myself.
Absolutely did not want the fronts to lock first! no no no! Let the ass
end get light and loose, I can still STEER !!. Lock the fronts, and you go
straight into the ditch...Newton's 3rd Law of Ditch Magnets.

It was lighter, but I don't have the figures anymore, andI said I don't
think it made much of a difference. The cooling is just conjecture on my
part. The tigers have so much more heat under the hoot than the Alpines do,
I thought it might have an impact, although probably slight
