Duh I said Steve and meant Tom, sorry Tom. The other guy on the original suspension design project was Klaus Arning. It is an interesting design and geometry that has a lot of toe change through the suspension travel on the rear. The design also has a bind deliberately built into it which is an anti-squat feature. It was also, according to the history books, the first computer designed suspension. It was race car suspension on a road car and was a huge input of technology on 30's suspension under a 50's car. It's a shame the resources were so totally committed to GT40's that they didn't really give much Team support to the 427's in racing. Especially after they had such success with 289's.
