Richard - very interesting! With the setup you mentioned, would you be inclined to set the roll bars very stiff or does a degree of body roll help the turn-in? I have a 125 shifter kart for a bit of weekend fun - if only the Cobra could corner and stop as well as the kart!!!  The track that I'll be using is perhaps the most basic track that's ever been designed from a clean sheet  It runs clockwise. I think I'll make up some ground on the rest of field down the two long straights 
DV - I would like a locker style centre eventually. My concerns were threefold....
COST - too much more money spent on this car will eat into my DVSF3 funds!
STRENGTH - If I put some 30x12x15ish sized slicks out back for my one and only 1/4 mile run, how do you think the Detroit will fare?
STABILITY - you've mentioned how the locker kicks in fairly softly at parking speeds, but how do they react if you get on the throttle mid-corner (ie accelerating away from the apex)? Does the engagement of the Locker unload/unsettle the rear suspension?
Thanks guys!
