<VV> adding weight to rear to improve handling (mag. article)

[Wrsssatty at aol.com]

<Actually, a car  magazine article from 1960 or 1961 (Road and  Track??)
entitled "why doesnt the corvair handle" explored the  weight bias theory 
as well
as different tire pressures than  recommended, and none of those things 
really helped
the handling  at all- what did help dramatically, was to ADD weight over 
the  rear
wheels! It worked because it forced the axels into positive  camber, and 
then the axels  couldnt "jack" because of cornering  forces.>
 
If I recall correctly, the added weight was placed in the floor behind the  
driver's seat.
