Thanks for any opinions!
I just tried a shorty in my B4.2 on Saturday. I am on high-traction clay. It was very cold, so traction was an issue, but I found the shorty pack was fun to play with. I liked the pack slightly back, but not all the way. When I had it all the way forward, it was really loose. All the way back, I had less steering than I needed. I settled on about half an inch forward. It is great for the stock class I run because of the weight savings. My car was really fast down the straight with the shorty pack.
