I’ve always build the 257mm, but I really like that body style and nobody else is using it in our league. My question is, will this shorter configuration handle about the same or will it really affect performance. I have the 3 degree rear aluminum uprights like I usually install in my TT-02’s. Only using torque tuned motors, so the cars aren’t tremendously fast either. Thx for your help.
I use the same short wheelbase for the 911 RSR 1973. Honestly, I can't tell the difference driving long vs short wheelbase back to back. I'm no pro but been to many TCS events, even made the podium a few times in Rally class back in the day. So from that experience, and running my TT 02. 911, go for it, it can't really hurt you at all. Might help you in the twisties, otherwise no real change.
