CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Wheelbase question: how different is 115" vs. 125" to drive?

I've driven both...... I ran a 125" Bantam in A/EA and on a 12" tire, it became a handful at times...... but a bigger tire would help that if you're bracket racing....... like stated earlier, if you're chassis is setup right it can be a fun ride....... never tried a Pro Tree with it though....... I also drove a 125" Bantam in L/AA, which is a 4 cylinder class...... that thing was a string every time.....

I currently have a 115" 27 Roadster built by C&F Race Cars in New York State....... this car is so much fun to drive you wouldn't believe it....... you can Bracket race it or Super race it........ but again like stated earlier, you will need to be satisfied with a certain MPH, unless your front fenders are really attached well....... at around 160, mine start to move enough to get me nervous...... LOL

BUT...... if you get into a 115" car with one of the the newer topless Corvette or Camaro bodies, you would probably have no problem dipping into the 7's at around 170 or so....... check out some of the S/G MPH's........
