I've been working on a basic setup for the suspension, so we can get the upper control arm mounts fabricated and installed. So far, I have a 1.88" (static) front roll center height, and 3.42" (static) rear roll center height (IRS). I've been using
this free (sample) software just to plot the basic layout. I know, I need to pony up and buy something, so I can dig in deeper and see what it's really going to do. The suspension is based on MII street rod design, using Honda Accord and custom fabricated parts, for AWD capability.
This car is really just a toy. It's a street rod that I just want to be fun to drive and play with. All the big power numbers are just for kicks really, because who doesn't like to unleash hundreds of ponies on a lightweight chassis!
In the end, whatever it does or doesn't do I will accept and be happy, as long as it is fun to play with. I do plan to try it on autocross, road course, drag strip, and maybe even a standing mile, but that's just to have more fun with it - not to be ultra competitive with anyone else. If it does happen to be competitive - it'll just be more fun!
For what it's worth, my current specs have less vertical roll center migration than the C5 specs I used to compare...
