I've been told the Cg for a 914 is around 16", but this seems high to me, since the pwertrain is so low in the vehicle. I finally got around to measuring it, albeit, somewhat inaccurately.
So, I borrowed some scales, weighed the car, raised one end 10" and weighed it again. This moved 20 pounds.... So, by my crude calculations and crude measurement that puts my Cg at 9.6 inches. Consisdering how low I run the car, seems pretty close to me. The middle of the engine sits at abou 10 inches. Has anyone else measured their Cg???? I'd like to get some confidence in my numbers. |
