Matt,
I know this is a hijack of your thread, but, is there anywhere in existence the data from the "pie wagon" suspension testing? It would be interesting to find out what was learned, and how that shook down to final suspension design as far as placement of frame tabs for mounting the front control arms and torsion bar choices.

Jim,
I was not close to the development of the vehicle, I have lost track of those that I knew who were. While they were neat, I never had expectations of actually owning one at the time.

Thanks Matt. I have seen videos of the pie wagon on the test track running
over what looked like 4 x 4's, and in panic braking tests. I figures that
they must have had instrumentation on board when they did that. Sorry to
break the thread.
