Jack I think I understand what you are saying. In my work with sporty type
cars we really don't care about terminal speed but the best average speed.
So if more downforce costs 5 mph terminal but cuts.3 secords off a lap time
a real win. That is the venue traction control works well low speed no
downforce with lots of torque in the lower gears. Best terminal speed for me
has always had 5 or 6% slip a little bit of slip and tread deformation is
good for bite. Dave
