Reply to "Update on Joel Roth's Beck Super Coupe"

OK everyone, I spoke to Carey and he indicated that ABS and Traction Control are not doable and if they were they would be cost prohibitive. So take that out of your thought process.

Now as far as the rear weight bias is concerned, Carey told me that while this car is not mid-engine, and is rear engine, the engine and transmission are more forward than in a traditional rear engine application. So, the rear engine effect is not as great as a traditional rear engine location. Plus, Carey indicated they compensate for the weight and rear engine location by increasing the shock dampening and spring rates. The car should handle very similar to the mid engine location but with a lot more power 300-320 HP plus or minus.
