I have both autocrossed my Previa and been up on two wheels in my GTI. My Previa is an Altrak, with a rear sway bar, good shocks, and slightly lower than stock due to low profile tires (215/60-15). I

Thanks, Carl. You more clearly said what I was getting at. The gray areas are getting grayer, and it would be good to see if it was possible to come up with some sort of easily measurable stability r

Sorry to say I'm somewhat of an expert on rolling pre-Previa Toyota vans. I nearly died in a rollover of a really, really worn out short wheelbase Toyota van in 1994. Going 70mph on a main highway (A

Carl, Just considering track and overall height is simple, but I fear it might be just a little too simple. Overall height alone provides a poor estimate of CG height. Adding ground clearance to the

Pacificare was my HMO. But it took some serious pressure to get them to approve a medivac flight to the USA and on to Stanford. They wanted to fly me to an American hospital in Saudi Arabia. My siste

Fair enough, Charlie. You're right about the administrative issues. The buck stops with you. To be a bit more philosophical: Quantitative data without experience can be dangerous or worse. But experi
