the CG and roll centers along with the roll couple is all wrong for mid engine. If you use the C5 geometry, it will never be right.

Eric,

Would you be kind enough to explain why the C5 geometry is all wrong? Also, what are the guidelines for roll centers for mid-engined cars vs. the C5.

Thank you,

Andy
