A surprising number of people wrote to say that I made the car too short in wheelbase. I’m not sure why they think that since I haven’t supplied any numbers. I think it’s due to the wide track, making the car look short. Anyhow, it’s a 100″ wheelbase and a 60″ track. Guess I need to create a Specifications table somewhere…

About the torque tube, it doesn’t seem very popular, plus I may have miscalculated the stiffness. Regardless, the shifter’s got to mount somewhere, as does the e-brake lever. Then there’s all the control cables, wires, and coolant lines. If the tube is deemed useless, where does all this stuff go?
