Cobra weight distributions?

also on those SPF fiqures---they mount the battery behind the left wheel???????

Jerry,

I did that trick with the body too... just the front- about 1/2". I kept the rear centered so the 335s don't rub. If one was to look for it, they'd notice that the LF tire sticks out farther than the RF. The front is stiff enough that it never rubs a tire.

lets say you move everything further to the right to get the 50/50 side to side, you get the front to back 50/50. i guess you can set the cross to 50/50, even though your ass is over the left tire and the engine is on the right side.

lefthanders do this i believe with the engine offset to the left, but don't they also move the roll center and geometry to compensate? makes me wonder how this would handle.

like you say, pushing the limits might be able to tell.
