Miata to BRZ

For some strange reason I'm liking the look of this thing... Have I been eating too much rice??

Maybe just a tad too much, get rid of the fender flares, reduce camber a little and your good to go.

I looked them up a long time ago when the frs first came out and people were talking about how it'd magically one of the best sports cars in history but only for 25k and I became skeptical.

I was talking about a lower CG not making a difference. I thought that was everything.

Oh. It makes a difference. I don't think I ever stayed otherwise. I just don't think it's a very big difference in relation to how good forum views it.

Yeah.... that’s pretty hideous but it's keeping with the current hideous trends of oversized park bench wings, bolted on fenders and “hellaflush”.

Unless its tracked. Anything with giant wings like that for the street makes no sense at all to me. Even the WRX-STI wing made no difference or downforce until about 90-100mph. So that is purely for looks. Basically, says. cops here I am, pull me over.

In other words, the larger percentage of the weight of the vehicle (engine / tranny, gas tank, suspension parts, etc) that is concentrated at a lower level (nearest to the ground) , the better.

If you still want to dance, let me know

Miata weighs is less then the FRS / BRZ , correct.

However in terms of which has a lower CG , depends on which vehicle has a larger % of its mass lower / closer to ground level.

I understand what center of gravity means but your explanation is not right. It isn't where the weight is concentrated, it is where it is centered. What I dont understand was this question: "Lowest in terms of where the engine placement is, or lowest in terms of .... what ( engine + Driver + gas tank + + )?"

Again, I know what the center of gravity is and I am telling you that the miata and the corvette have had lower cogs for many of their iterations although I haven't checked them all.

Read that reference. That's what I was referring to, not pulling the info out of my azzzz.

460mm . Not the lowest possible, but given the cost of the FRS/ BRZ , hey it is what it is. I did my part, now your turn. What is the CG of the MX5 (what iteration) , and Corvette (what iteration) ?
