Okey dokey... question #1-



Do the 2+2 models have a different chassis than the models without the seats? If yes (or if no) what other differences to the two models have besides the back holes they call seats?



Question #2- An aquaintance told me that some FCs have a limited amount of all wheel steering. Which models came with this advent, or is it just a crock of BS?



Thanks in advance!

the cars are the exact same. you can put rear seats into any FC if you have the parts. the bolt holes are already there to mount the seats and selt belts.



yes the rear tires move a very small amount. only under hard cornering. lots of people replace the system with soild bushings so they don't move.

Cool, thanks for the info.

its called DTSS (dynamic tracking steering system) or something like that. controlled by toe control bushings that induce toe under hard cornering to reduce oversteer.



however, a worn DTSS system does more harm than good, i've felt the effects on a wet road going greater than 55 mph...my back end slides around. even on dry pavement, my back end steers uncontrollably when the rear weight transfers.
