I have been contemplating a fuel cell mounted low in the front compartment...
While this may yeild a lower cg, it is also in front of the front wheel midline and will affect the overall balance. Has anybody done a before and after on corner weights? I'm sure I can deal with a set up for this new layout...but should I be fixing somthing that aint broke. If you do have a fuel cell, how big did you go, and how did you mount it? Pictures would be nice if you have 'em... Cheers, Sean |

Oversteer, no? The car runs Goodyear slicks and a GT limited slip which lets the rear bite and snap towards where ever the front wheels are pointed. I also have the rear shocks set on the soft side to give me the bite coming out of a tight corner. With street tires it might be different but is hard to say.
