Default 90 wheelbase the problem?

Designers,

If you look at one of the most competitive series today, GTS, with tire tracks at 64-68" combined to the 96-98" wheel bases, then taking a percentage of shrinking the wheelbase down to 90" the track falls into the track of a 90" COBRA of yesteryear. By running a couple of the computer geometry programs on the front suspension taking all the COBRA CSX into play I really don't think the wheel base is the problem.

Go kart who said go kart?

Most available COBRA's we have suffer from using production items in the suspension for cost reasons thereby stepping us a very rigid fixed design for the car.

Take a clean sheet of paper and then hit the 90" button, you will be surprised in the outcome. If only it were that easy!
