I still have SERIOUS concerns about converting to double wishbones at each corner... And along each side.

I just don't believe that we are going to need the camber numbers we discussed, given the treadware restrictions.

I am still all for the camber adjustability, we can always dial it back as needed, we just need 22 of these

Yeah, I know... But as I told you I only have 27 springs in the rate/length you want.

Granted, I still think this is the right vehicle to run, compared to the hearse.

I guess my main concern is tire wear. Pit stops may also be a bitch.

Hey I threw the hovercraft into the mix, but noooooo you all said it had to be a production vehicle

No, the problem we had with the hovercraft had nothing to do with whether or not it was a "production" vehicle.

The main issue was trying to balance the Tracy Lord theme, while being the politically correct guys that we are trying to emulate.

Doesn't matter, anyway. We have the right vehicle, we just need to figure out how to make the flappy-paddle rear-steer system work reliably.

I must now go to sleep... Gotta get up early today.

I know Lemons allows up to 6 drivers but are there any rules about how many drivers at one time?

Let it go, Anson. Steve e-mailed me a couple nights ago. He's back on the Hovercraft thing, but now he wants to combine it with what we already have.

Initial tests went well...

But we're gonna need a E36 M3-load of those damn little engines to get the lift we're going to need.

I have the lift question answered, who has a flat bed and some wrenches, we need to "borrow" a couple of these
