speaking of overhangs

n00bs

the highest performing cars have long overhangs

I think the hight to length ratio of the *ideal* car is 11 to 1

Coicidentally that's also the ideal length to width ratio of a . 11 inches for every 1 inch of width.

ivperformance street rep is low. keep going

the weight in that area is next to nothing though, overhang is not just the length of the car in front of the wheels, its also its weight. I can tape a huge stick to a ferrari and say it has a huge overhang.
