Default Re: Scaling F-Body GM

Scaling a car is to setup the suspension to plant the rear tires and go straight on the launch.
It can be done with the four link or ladder bar suspension. It also allows you to keep the front end square with the front wheel equally loaded on the launch which will keep the car straight.
I am not sure how anyone would do it with a stock suspension.
With a good set of scales you can setup a car in the garage and have it ready to race as far as the suspension is concerned before every taking it down the track.
My 2 Cents
