Tony, I will do an article on the weight distribution of the Tiger, but
the number of 51%-52% on the front are Wrong.
I made a wheel weight system to measure the weight on each wheel, with
me and Buddy Joe Parlanti in the car, and without anyone in the car.
Can you guess what the distribution was, as well as the cross weights?
Winner gets the pre-published article, before it appears in Tiger
United. That is, of course, if you are interested at all.
