Fwd chassis versus RWD Et

Ernie Neal · 12-29-2014, 09:04 PM

I'm hoping it goes the other way for me, when and if I get this vette done. Adding 280 lbs and losing .35 on index. The Vette is lower, wider, with only slight engine set back as compared to my number 3 cylinder at spindle centerline on my FWD. On paper I'm calling a good exchange.

The only advantage I can see in a FWD car is the weight factor. Lighter is faster. There are a some aero bodies out there RWD also, so don't see much there.

Dick, what are going to build?
