KEK!

>>14005365
>i thought soft tops were wet noodles around corners due to lack of stiffness.
Purpose-built convertibles like the Miata and S2000 are similar in stiffness to coupes. Coupes with the top chopped off like the Mustang and 3-series are significantly heavier and floppier than their counterparts.
>do they even have an LSD?
They have an LSD standard on the Club trim, and you can buy an OEM LSD for $650 if you'd like to install one in a Sport trim car.
>or power?
155 BHP from the factory, but people have gotten 165 RWHP out of them already without modifications.

>>14005365

if you make the chassis stiffer you have to make the suspension softer

then again who needs suspension when you have concrete roads

>>14005448
Those number mean nothing
Heavy car needs more stiffness.
Lighter car needs less

......1800kg is around 4000 lbs, not even the Mustang GT weighs that much, and the older cars like the foxbodies and SN95s are lighter. Notch foxbodies, depending on trim, can even be under 3000lbs with the stock boat anchor 302.

Is he high? The Miata is a dedicated sports car with a low curb weight, balanced chassis, double wishbone suspension all the way around, and RWD. The Hyundai is an econoshitbox of the highest order.

Okay guys, hit me with the truth on door bars. Some people say they improve torsional stiffness more than any amount of butterfly braces or other reinforcement bars. If so, is there any ergonomic way to incorporate them, or do they have to join up with certain geometric points in the car?
