Why Mid-engine 4

[BUGGAR]

So, what’s up with new trend towards mid-engine performance cars? There’s mumbo jumbo about weight distribution. But no one has mentioned Polar Moment of Inertia. I’ve been watching films of race cars spinning out. Some recover quickly, some do not. Comments?

Greg: Was Reuss there when you were doing this ? BTW: I remember him being a coop student in the N&V Lab At Milford P.G. Never hinted who his dad was or required, requested, or hinted at any special consideration. Sharp Dude. Good Listener...

I've never worked in the USA, except for 6 weeks at Dearborn.

Mark did a stint at Holden (in Oz) to get the G8 over here in the U.S. .

I only worked on Holdens when I was in the UK!
