Tom you are the greatest! I, an engineer as well se the truth to what you just wrote I always knew it- you actually made since of the issue, thanks. That is why all the new cool machines and BMW and all the other cool guys are simply using degrees now and actually degrees based on each side to further the complex issue.

At the end of the day it really is about the tire patch on the road right? So if your tire pressue is up or down a couple of PSI all the laser ball scratching is for not anyway right? Our poor old Cobras were never meant for this type of percision- Those guys at lemans "back in the day" were just glad the tires were not being eaten off as they used their tape measures and those kool little pipe things with welding rod inside with a little clampy thing.

I took mine to a little shop with a 100K machine gave him all the specs and it was great. I have about 6K miles on it now- but things are different I feel it - I keep the tires the same as then but it drives different. So I plan on in the next week or so to take it back and get it redon to the same specs as before. I am sure it settled in I will report back. I did screw around with corner weights at first- I got them close and gave up. I just drive on the street anyway.
