I have a program called Cartest, that I used to do some calculations. it
does "real time " simulation and spits out data. It asks weight, tires
size, engine specs, tranny etc.. I thought it unique that it had the RV8 in
it as well as the stock B. For mine I took the engine/tranny specs from a
mustang GT and put them in the MG chassis. Very cool... I cannot find the
website again, but can email the zipped files.
