I wonder how many of those 700hp '13 Mustangs will Ford corner-weight before they let them loose on the streets? Same for Chevrolet's ZR-1s, the Camaro ZL-1s, etc., etc.? Do the ownership manuals in these cars specify that the driver must check their corner-weighting before they drive their new toys?
The defense rests, Your Honor.

I am not sure of the manufacturing process in Detroit, but I would bet they at least get a baseline reading.
All the serious Cobra, Stang and Vette guys around me just take their cars straight over to
Phoenix Performance
They know their ****e ;-)

Because I have scales (don't have to go anywhere)
Because I design and scratch build my car
Because I have an engineering degree
Because I do "impossible" things for decades
Because I'm very careful to use internet calculators (do my own)
Because I don't like "internet engineers"
Because I have a very large skill set
...because I know.

Do you really have to be such an arse all the time? I don't know about the rest of the users of this board but I sure wish there was an IGNORE button for your posts. You are just trying to get a rise out of people and are an internet bully. You call it part of your "schtick" but I call it juvenile. Grow up man. |

Alright it is absolutely false - my statement is wrong.
I apologize for any inconvenience that I have created...
I just took your statement (need to place the weight of the driver in the driver seat) and drew logical conclusions.
The fact you changed variables and came to the same outcome led me to the following:
Don't argue with idiots - just say sorry and move on
