Hi Varn,

Well, I was anticipating that the extra length to the car would move the center-of-pressure more rearward, and cause more neutral steering in large side-winds instead of pushing the front end.

When this did not happen, at first I thought something was wrong-with-the-picture, but then realized that I would rather have the steering more "normal" than have the wind control the back end of the car and possibly over correct the steering inputs.

So overall, I am very glad the steering control remains the same as before.

Jim.
