hmmm

Try again, is this legible?

That looks bad...

uno mas.

What?? No Tapley Meter...um, nvm, wrong mag.

Thanks for scanning and posting this article. I'd forgotton how thorough the SCG tests were. I guess we can thank Paul Van Valkenburgh for that. How do you suppose he determined the aerodynamic forces?

Good stuff!

Cool, I find it hard to believe that it actually smokes the tires off the line.

I was wondering about that too..

Thanks for the scanning/posting. It's totally legible.



I liked his humorous take on the NARP aspect.

My favorite line:

"the front looks like the back, and the back does too..."

Thanks!

That wouldn't be half as funny if it wasn't true. I remember the jokes about the direction of travel when these were new.

Even today I sometimes have a little problem with that direction of travel thing. Usually I'm on the AX course when it happens.


That front/back thing - well the front end didn't have a grill with a radiator tucked behind it did it? So that must be the back end. Right? Right?

It seems like it would pull a skidpad better than .76g.

He doesn't have a problem with the shifter either, in a Zen sort of way.

There's another scan on the way. I grabbed "Popular Imported Cars" March 1970 that's not as good an article but it has info on the six that I think you'll like.

Well, its tires were only 155's. Not exactly a lot of rubber.
