She won't go round if you keep her balanced on the center of pressure but I'm
not sure haw you do that.

I know race cars the need to turn quickly need a low polar moment so that
there is less inertia to overcome when turning. I thought on the other hand
that cars that need to go straight benefit from a resistance to turning
therefore need a high polar moment. Am I wrong in this thinking???

have a LOW polar moment of inertia ....... so do NOT add much weight,
if any, behind the rear axle, in or under the trunk . Keep in mind that
ALL the weight BEHIND the rear axle is levering weight OFF of the
front wheels !!!
