The techs do this stuff for a living and are good at it, so I use their knowledge. Maybe that's taking the easy way out?????
I like scaling them, that's probably the dirt tracker coming out in me though.
The engineering looks great for the sedan, Brian. Going to be a nice car even if IMO the BBC is going to make getting the front to rear weight anywhere's near right. Hopefully he's using a lot of aluminum components on the engine?????
