Actually they're standard size - it's the brain that's much smaller than it should be.
The really scary part was getting to the top-snap-shifting 2 and 3 caused the rear to touch both white lines of my lane-again-like glare ice. Very stupid to use drag strip technique. And Hoosier TD's were no help. As Cliff said, going through 130 to the top, the nose felt unconnected. I didn't breathe on the steering wheel then. Nor pounce on the brakes at the top. Was able to see 6200 on the tach.
I did drag the pedal to light the taillights-so the Z 06 could see I was kind enough to wait for him...
Much more stable at 121 in the traps at the dragstrip.
I will respectfully never believe Dick Smith ran 198 unless someone convinces me that the bowl-shaped Daytona track helps....
Cliff-really beautiful thought and work. You're raising the bar for those of us that care-thanks.
