Tom - you've reminded me about that article. Now I can't remember if it was Race Car Engineer or Racetech magazine.... both fantastic magazines that leave most other "car tech" magazines for dead!!! I'll also have a dig around to see what comes up. That Mustang was a bit of a weapon also, from memory it came about after GM started building a 600ish cube Camaro a few years back, didn't it?


Paul - the chassis and suspension were built before I had the fuel cell, swirl pot, pumps etc in place, so whatever space was required for the Mumford was used. It's not the most compact way of locating the diff, but it's not too bad. I found that I had a little too much rear body roll on the race track, so I'm hoping that I can change that by simply lowering the rear roll centre. I'll have to do some serious reading before I know with any confidence if this will throw anything else out of balance by doing this.
