suspension dynamics of a 911GT2

I thought this was pretty interesting especially the comparison to an F1 car. I hadn't really thought about that before.

FWIW, F1 cars are heavily regulated. They have only a couple percent of weight distribution to play with (without being over the minimum weight). Before the restriction they were running more and more front weight IIRC.

Excellent analysis - thx for posting.

You can see the effect of the ... ah... massive booty in the first few seconds of the clip. Many decades later, the cars can still be steered with the throttle, just like the 356.
