Curious as to how to determine if the chassis is stable or fit for autocross for a car without the stiffening add ons.

^ Manufacturers like BMW and Porsche have been known to play with wheel width inside the same tire size to adjust balance (e.g., 996.1 C2 and 996.2 C2), and sometimes even front to rear on the same car (e.g., E36 M3). Might be beneficial, but there's a lot that goes into it.
If you've got the nose dialed, and the tail at a point where you can get the car to pivot, and you're beating a far more powerful, more prepared 914, I might just drive it and get better at using that pivot to your advantage—unless it's really bad, that is. Took a peek at your car, and it's beautiful. Nice to know it's also being used. |
