The car also held lap records for quite a number of years with this setup at certain tracks. I guess they must have had it all wrong too eh Stuart? no no.. just different setup for actual racing springs should (typically) softest allowable to stop the body of car contacting the road, although with heavy sedans it is always a compromise.... anyway, you can read all about it somehwere else.. all i can say is that there is a very very big difference between a circuit car, with high cornering forces (over 1G), high speeds (say, 200-300), and high braking forces..... compared to a dorifto car which will not have high cornering forces (since you are counter steering and the rear whels are sliding ), ie not high G, and not high speeds.... you are simply trying to compare "sports" with very different requirements... in fact.. a good analogy is skiing if you are snowplowing down a green run at perisher, you will not ned the same skis (length, stiffness, strength) that you would if you were doing a superG slalom run.... sure you can use the superG skis for snowplowing.... they will work.... but it doesn't mean they are the best skis for the job.. Edit: now i thin abotu it.. apart from length, super G skis will be fine for snowplowing, cos they are stiff and stable and will slide easily.. but a decent set of softer skis with a bigger sidecut will help you turn much easier.... oh wait.. dorifto is not about turning.... it's about not turning now... if you were to take an AE86 with the same suspension setup as the touring cars... and DRIFT IT around the same tracks.... which will have the better lap time? and corespondingly, which will have higher cornering forces and require stiffer springs??? Team Dorifto.. Fuck Yeah [Updated on: Tue, 01 November 2005 03:57] [Report message to a moderator]
