Post 964 Cab Cg

Does anyone know the Center of Gravity height for a stock 964 cabriolet? If not the Cabriolet, does anyone know this for the Coupe?

Yes, i am going to try do some basic physics (simplified, no doubt) calculations, and am trying to avoid using the spherical chicken.

Thanks,

Ron

OK - dumb question (I'm sure but the wife and kids are have gone to the beach and I'm bored) what the heck is a "spherical chicken"?

Just a silly term used by some of the Physicists I know, to describe their approximations, where one approximates a chicken by using a sphere.

I think a Cab car has two centers of gravity, one with top closed and another (lower) with the cab open.

Intersting topic.
