wheelbase on that Lotus or running it stock?
After all this discussion on long vs short
wheelbase last week or so, I'm now wondering why
so many cars are stretched so long. Steering can
be slowed down with linkage modifications. Seems
like it'd be cheaper and simpler to slow down the
steering than stretch out the car? ? No? >>
Dick,
slowing the steering will help a little but I know of no other single
modification that improves handling as much as lengthening the wheelbase
(assuming that everything else is done correctly).............Ardun Doug King
