Quantifying chassis stiffness...
Discussion
OK chaps,
So something that I have been wondering for a while, seems to be being discussed quite a bit at the moment - so I thought I would broach it as a topic...
So how stiff actually are the griffith/chimaera chassis..?
We've all heard the story about the Maclaren test rig - but what other cars had they had on the rig previously to compare it to, I wonder..?
How do these cars compare to your average modern eurobox - I know cars such as the Focus are supposed to be very stiff, but how does this translate into figures? And is the "average" eurobox as stiff as a Focus..?
Just really trying to find out how the cars match up to todays standards - and actually how noticeable any shortcomings will be on the road to an average driver?
Facts, figures, seat-of-the-pants opinions all welcome
