[VintageLambo] Miuras & Handling… I am afraid not |

| Seeing all this talk about Miura suspension mods, I am reminded about the 20+ minutes I spent in a Miura chasing a decent running and handling but not particularly well-driven Pantera club racer around Bridgehampton Obviously the Pantera had better brakes and more moxy… but the most memorable part consisted of 3 distinct events at every corner: 1. The tires would take a set 2. The suspension would do an aggressive toe in/toe out dance and / or camber flex 3. When everything seemed set… the frame would flex… resulting in more sawing at the wheel Now this car had just come off a steel alignment table and all suspension settings were OK and after it"s little outing it went back to the table and everything was still OK So… while I was working hard, the dentist in the Pantera could not help but remark "hey this thing (Pantera) must be half the price of that thing ( Miura)…How come you can"t catch me ? All I could blurt out was "I think it"s a 1/3, it"s not mines, and could I go home and get my GTB" REV (:>) Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to |
