I think your right about the rear of the car being more stable and not so suseptable to stepping out as you say.
But I think it may actually lose some responce and not rotate quite so well,
It remains to be seen and as the short chassis does seam to have incredible 'turn-in' ..... the long chassis may well turn out to be a more well balanced car.

I think the long chassis coupled with 6 or 8 degree front knuckles may really open things up

One things for shure .... Marcus is going to put all his knowledge and experience behind seeing what he can get out of the long chassis now .... I know he wants to run those new bodies
