Jim,

It's nice to see that you've modified your GT/4 in the important areas to
modernize it while still keeping it an old school car.....love that!

What's great is to see that the chassis design still holds up after all
these years. It's a crime to use XWX tires on these cars.....don't know why
the purists insist on it!

What kind of shocks and springs did you upgrade to? Also interested in
hearing about the bushings and other suspension pieces.

I've been reading for years that the GT/4's longer wheelbase is an advantage
in cornering.....fact or fiction?
