Hi Paul - The CG of a rear drive streamliner is so far back it's hard to get
the CP back far enough - It's more a mater of livable instability and keeping
the front heavy enough to overcome any lift in the body - Low narrow cars with
pointy tails are less spin prone than production body cars - Front drive
streamliners don't need to trade traction for safety .
