Does the dual front axle help steering grip or does it simply allow wild oversteer with the flick of a steering wheel at anytime?

Questions: What happens when tire change time comes along? How about alignment? What about the length of that vehicle? US parking, maybe. Japan doesn't have that much room, does it?

WOW!!!

I just watched the youtube videos, about 50 minutes in length. The fact that this car left a Porsche 930 Turbo, in the weeds, is something to see!

This is some ROCKET SHIP!!! My profound respect to Prof./Dr. Shumizu, and his University team, that made the break-thrus in technology, to create this beast. All of you should watch the youtube vids.

Our Big 3, CEOs should watch these vids. It will show you what you have to compete against and China's leadership, in producing everyday electric cars, for the common man, and for export to the world, that means us! It will open your eyes! The research team and Dr. Shumizo, are Japanese, and they were impressed with the Chinese accomplishments!

To MS Fowler, Send me a PM here with your email, so we can discuss your friend , the Violist, with the Baltimore Symphony, and his Citroen DS collection. Thanks for your interest.

Pastmaster, Paul.

Joe- I burned all the pictures I had of it. If you are ever going to be on the north side of town, PM me and you can look at it. Maybe a French car will suit you better than an Irish one(?)
