Just a question; have the Tiger's polar moment of inertia ever been
calculated? It occurred to me that there _is_ a significant weight
difference between the two cars, and most of it contained within the
wheelbase (h*ll, almost w/in the confines of the cockpit!). If I remember
any grade-school science, that would enable rapid movement on the yaw
access when desired-- and also permit it when it _isn't_ desired. Yes? No?
