    Better rule?

    I'm confused on this ruling.

    I've always read the airdam rule as allowing me to add as much or as little airdam as i want as long as I stayed inside the x,y,z, dimensions allowed.

    Neat results with LapSim. I haven't used it. Does it assume some nominal wheel rate or something such that the "setup" changes the weight distribution? What does it use for grip/tires? More weight is...

    Ahhh, a real seat spec. The 1999 spec was a joke. Much less loading than production seats are tested to.

    I too am surprised by the weight difference of the '89-'93 and '94-'95 Mustang classification. Track width on the later cars is about 2" wider. (Fenders are wider too - the 2" holds true in IT trim)....

    The Honda EU2000 is the benchmark for smallish, quiet, generators. 2000 watts won't power a house, or even a roof AC on a motorhome/trailer, but it's quiet, darn quiet.
