Can't we all just get along?

And for what it's worth you can't use a circle track article to show rollcenter change on a 12th car.

The circle track cars (except pony stock) all use double wishbone front suspensions.

Our 12th cars use a funky McPherson strut front end (it's actually upside down). The rollcenter calculation is totally different and involves the kingpin angle if I remember correctly.

As far as my opinion, the rollcenter change of extending the upper arm is probably about the same for handling as the camber change that comes with it.

John, be nice... Not everyone understands your personality.
