And to quote Carter quoting Rick Cline "after all that work, I couldn't tell
the difference on the racetrack ...".
It's there, like it is in virtually every car. And like virtually every
car, it's not a big issue. Even 4x4 pickup trucks, which tend to have
remarkably horrible bump steer.
It's caused by suspension motion. So the easy and very effective band-aid
is to limit suspension motion. Most easily done with stiff springs. Not
that these cars had a lot of suspension travel anyways.
There's nothing unique about the GT6 front suspension compared to the
Spitfire. So beware of an article that says something about it being a GT6
problem, but not a Spitfire problem.
