If the ECU goes "bananas" at any point of operation you will have problems. If you are suggesting they base every scenario off of possible erratic ECU behavior why not just go back to carbs... :bonk:

The 993 Twin Turbo kicked much ass... Not sure what else had a turbo boxer in the mid to late 90's.

I think people need to know how to actually set up suspension before they start thinking about how staggered wheels might effect a car that hasn't even been built yet. :sigh:

Haha, I just tracked down some 370/710R18 race slicks for the back end of a R35 GT-R race car. 18's are the size to have in 2010+!

The 2200 pound 98whp Yaris runs a 225/50ZR15 DOT race tire.


The widest 15" performance street tire you will readily find is a 225/50R15. That's not enough for a 200+ hp 2700+ lb car.

Not really being picky, just trying to stay within context. Only a hard parker would think "drag strip" or "racing light to light" when someone is talking about a straightaway on a track. :bonk:
