hasbeen ~ Thanks for that great input Mate. I'm curious as to how much better the Lotus engine is than the Repco Brabham donk ? (or Cooper Climax) I understand what a big difference a "Sway Bar" "Roll Bar" can make to the handling. (in a very minor way compared to racing) I fitted a "fatter" bar to the front of the XY V8 Falcon road car I once owned, and I wasn't expecting to notice much of a change, so I was blown away by how much better it entered an apex and exited without much of roll angle compared to when standard, thinner bar, was fitted. So now I can see how a minimal change could benefit a lightweight open-wheeler considerably. It is most interesting that some of you guys have gone for Race Cars as your ONE Choice. I'm chuffed. It adds a bit of flavour and expands the Forum title remarkably. In that vein, am surprised nobody has chosen a Ferrari 250 GT ?? Good for road car and track meets. Maybe Hasbeen can comment if he has driven one ? I know there is one model he hated due to lousy handling,
