This is why you dont see much diff between a 911 and a Corvette on the track etc, but for the stuff I mentioned in my first post, they all affect maximum grip capability along with the way the car transitions. I suspect this is especially true for a rear/mid engine design. In general, its always better to lower the CG in a performance car.

Interesting, and what common sense would tell us. Being an engineering geek I would like to experiment with the same chassis but different styles of engines, and see what real world differences there really are.
