I thought I read someplace where someone was claiming that by increasing the track via wider wheels and tires a few inches(or even spacers) it was equivialant to a 100hp increase in power on large track
I know that is just way too much of a general statement, but could it be based on facts?? |

wider track will only help you getting around corners faster.
which could help you getting times closer to the car with 100HP more than yours. if that's what he meant. bigger tires is more surface-friction and might also lower your CW (what's CW in english? you know, air-friction/resistance constant) ... Andy |
