FWD vs RWD: Adders, Subtractors, and Weight, Oh my...!

[lateapex911]

Sorry Andy, that was meant to be a joke. While I do very much appreciate what the ITAC has done over the last few years, and I believe they are doing the right things, I FIRMLY believe the 1.8 ITA Miatas are under weight.

Actually, RWD cars have gotten attention. Live axles have been ID'ed as an item that gets an adder.

ADDER? WTF?

What are we out to do, force everyone to drive FWD boxes or Miatas?

Ron - geesh. "Adder" is a generic term used for a post-base weight addition or reduction. FWD adder, torque adder, etc. SOme can - and do go either way.

I think the term modifier is more appropriate and scalar is more accurate in some circumstances.
