- Pardon me Dave, but I have certainly not seen the f-body and mustange
- magic. Do you mean rough road-course or the Baja 1000?
-
- At any auto-x I go to there are a couple of each, and none (read NONE)
- can get close the the vettes. Now on "rough" road courses the
- vette doesn't slouch either. Well, do you consider 7 and 8 at
- Laguna Seca rough? I do, and I've seen vettes, stangs, and camaros
- all through there. The vettes do significantly better than the other
- two. Now, the vette's susp. geom. certainly has some shortcomings but
- if you take the "area under the curve" the vettes comes out the winner,
- at least from what I've SEEN.
