How are things in LA? I'll let you know if we make to Willow Springs this year.

It's shorter for weight bias.

I don't know about Gs, but I dorve a car that had a meter that said it could do about 1G and I think the Merc. sticks a lot better than that one did.

I run 3.5 and 3.7 rear ends with 1:1 top gear, 28.5" tall rear tires and I try not to turn it more than 7400 rpm. These ratios reflect top speeds on the faster road courses I run. The slower tracks won't see much of fifth gear.

Tread width is 12.5" f and 14.5" r.

I'll have better answers after I get it sorted out, which will take several months at the rate I go.

If all goes well, then Laguna Seca on 9/30 and again on 10/27.
Wheelbase is 108" now - same as an early Mustang I think.
