The conundrum we always face with these technical interchanges is that only discussions within a broad public-domain definition can be occur. As soon as we get into something that's truly technically intriguing, IP corporate concerns shut down any further discourse. (The dark side of engineering that they never told us about at MIT.)

If I'm right about this, then we won't be hearing back from Mark in this thread again. Of course, I hope I'm wrong about this.

Maybe this thread pretty quickly went in a massively-wayward and obscurely technical direction, hence the silence from Mark, since he's likely moved on to 1 or 2 other new main/side projects....

Just a thought.

MAP, you might start a new thread in an appropriate subforum for your discussion, see what develops.

If it feels like the tangents you present are worthy of in depth discussion yet detract from a thread... Or drive off the original poster then that is likely the case and worthy of reconsidering.

That doesn't necessarily mean they won't be welcome discussions in their own right.

Thanks,

Too bad I can't go back in time and un-do those posts because it was never my intention to derail this thread - in fact, quite the opposite - the intention was to help drive it forward. Apologies again to Mark and everyone for having inadvertently done so. In retrospect, in our company too, it's lockdown mode when someone outside ventures into IP...

However, maybe in some small way those posts will stimulate thought for progress.

A mid engine car would be faster. If I put my engine in a AWD mid engine car it would be faster. If I put my engine in a ZR-1 it would be faster. Just simple physics.

New or mid engine cars have better areo, CG, weight distribution.....

I'm not sure what question your asking.

Hi Mark,

Okay since where talking all this stuff that is way over my knowledge base. What are you thoughts on the new front wheel drive race car that just built and are taking to Le Mans.
