[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 7894394, member: 9628"] I have seen a few quote the "unsprung weight" multiple times......and then I see that the shorter sidewall quoted as superior to a taller sidewall when it come to handling. So, I would think that these two cars should have offsetting factors built into them to equalize their handling, this is assuming that the 20's, which are very close in overall diameter to the 18's weight more.<<This has not been proven, only guessed. Then we have the full coil over Shelby/Eibach suspension that is optional on the Super Snake.<<Is this a benefit to the handling of a car?? I would guess that a fully adjustable coil over suspension would be better from a handling standpoint? If it is, then we now have an advantage factor in the handling area, or if nothing else, they (the SS and KR) "should" at least be even in the turns, and then the Super Snake leaps away on the straight away waiting for the KR to catch up.<<<This is only common sense also given the wide power level spread? :shrug: But no, neither of these cars are going to be raced/competed with their Alcoas, 18's or 20's so what does that matter?
