Not Ranked
This I will do. It's sitting on the floor of my friend's basement (doing a body-off)---but just for now, I can tell you that it isn't really a new "Mark" or model. It was just brand new (never used). It DID have 4 (or 6?) pot WILWOODS, which I think is the only mod. I am putting a fat anti-roll on the rear.
Before I post the photos*, let me ask you Tom and others with non-Butler front ends what the driving difference is. Is it flatter cornering, tighter (quicker) turn in or general ride---or all three. I am VERY interested in this. Here's why: a local Butler owner has an old front end. He's interested in the new one I have. If I find (from you) that it's a tremendous difference, I may consider going with a Corvette type. I may "launch" my car in April with the new Butler MGB---tehn in a few years switch. Depends.
*I gotta take some and then figure how to do the enclosures. This dang tech stuff evades me (being an artist and a sailor)-plus a flippin' Luddite to boot!
Merry Christmas. I still recall that GREAAT cobra breakfast!
