You know how I just love all this talk about turbochargers, rear shocks, polar moments, rear alignment and dinky bias-phy tires.

LOLOL, but it’s my fault for pinging you to every car thread I find - because you like them!!

Funny! Keep on enjoying it!

.

Polar moment of inertia

A racecar wants it’s weight in the center - not front or rear

But that is a “twitchy” car on the street

Balanced weight at each end tends to be safest on street vehicles

The 4WD Porsche breaks that rule

My cars were actually experimental and constantly improved -

Great demos for customers - with a fat wallet anything can be done
