Im at the conclusion that the car was designed as a rear motor 1st - for the US market, then a mid motor 2nd. Mid motor is a compromised design that i'm guessing was not a widely tested on UK style tracks ?
The motor in mid config does look way too far forward, which is why we are all putting weight all over the shop - the motor should have being further back and over the wheels !
I'm going to weight mine up a bit more - put a tamer motor in it and gear it high to try to calm down the acceleration as much as possible. (Already got the slipper slipping, speedo set on lowest punch, throttle curve set etc !)
If it's still not happy unless I put new tyres on it, it will be retired or i'll put the motor out the back !
