Default The "Accessible Chassis"

After reading posts on "Infotainment" for much of the last week (Tunnels was good though), I felt it might be time for a thread about one of the reasons* for buying an F Type.

So, when pressing on, at what point along the centreline does it feel that the car is rotating about?

For me, it feels like it's somehere between the front axle and my feet.

Opinions?

*The looks, along with how it (rather than the Infotanment System) sounds being the others. Seriously.

It feels perfectly balanced to me, and the V6 is a perfect 50/50 between front and rear. I don't know about the V8. However, if I correctly understand what you're asking, the point of rotation "feels" to be right under my posterior.

Sound is my #1.

From what I hear (still don't have mine yet) the point of rotation, is everyones neck as your drive past them...

Mine, V6 vert, seems perfectly balanced 50:50.

Beautiful looks and sound we're why I bought mine. Everything else is icing
