Have to agree with Bill. Just look as some old pics. Front end up cpl feet motor almost out of frame.Center of gravity must have been 3 feet off ground.
I know we all here love the old cars but face it some of the engineering left a lot to be desired. Heck the rollcages where below thier heads in lots of cases.
Lets not forget the tires of the day where junk by todays standard.
Short wheelbase will never be as stable as longer wheelbase cars.But they are awsome to watch and fun to DRIVE,you know thats the thing that drivers do,unlike the long wheelbase rear engine car where your more a passanger along for the ride. That being said I'm building longest wheelbase I can becuase being consistent and beating some RED butt is the goal for my car.
