Chris, i think it's just something the Cat has always done, remember back in 1994 through to 1999 or so we didn't have the crazy amount of power that's available now so it wasn't really noticed on track - and to be fair, most of our tracks are high grip so the car doesn't really have a problem once out running..... Stand still on tarmac is a pretty unfair way to judge it and i really wouldn't worry too much as it's unlikely the car will ever be in that situation when you're racing it?
I ran the Cat 98 at the Worlds in Finland 99 and we just couldn't generate any traction out of it hence being a great European based car on high grip Grass and astro, but not so great on the dirt or slippery stuff.......
That's just the way i see it but maybe wrong, but i think it's to do with the allignment of the drive train, it's actually quite a large angle if you look straight down from above.
