Re: Optima Long travel Suspension
I think the Turbo and Salute kind of both addressed that issue...the Turbo body was much more wing-like, especially at the rear, and the Salute had a wing. I don't know what was up with the Pro, though, but the weight distribution on that car was probably a bit different than the Optima/Turbo/Salute cars. I just remember the word back then was that Optimas needed wings to improve their jump behavior.

Re: Optima Long travel Suspension
Bro, did you see my video on youtube of me racing my LWB mid against a Lazer ZX in 1991 ? Look at part 2 in the vid, there was a turbo optima in it.Coelacanth wrote:I think the Turbo and Salute kind of both addressed that issue...the Turbo body was much more wing-like, especially at the rear, and the Salute had a wing.
