A friend of mine (John Spiva) is running a similar configuration in a
CSP Shelby GLHS that I've driven on numerous occasions. It works
quite well, but to my tastes he should increase the front swaybar or
spring rate to hold the rear wheel down as it is prone to snap spins
if you don't anticipate them... there's no forgiveness with the
current setup, unlike other hot fwd cars I've tried. On the other hand,
the Omni/Horizon chassis seems to flex around the doors, so it may
not be possible to prevent the wheel from lifting without drastic
measures like a rollcage.
