Message to the right when they're revved due to their firing order. Ask a Camaro owner or a Mustang owner to just free rev their engine in neutral with their hoods open and watch the engine. They torque to the right. Now with stiff motor mounts added to that equation, your whole car would in turn twist to the right, transferring some weight to the rear right tire. That's why Eibach's drag launch springs for domestics usually come with an air bag for the right rear to battle that "twisting to the right" problem.

That's my $.02

"How long will it be before the Honda riceboys get chips that rev their engines to make music? If the terrible music blasting from their cars isn't enough, soon we'll have to put up with hearing their weedwacker engines rev eminem." - Marshall, replying to John(Houston)'s post about the Minardi F1 engineers playing songs with their F1 V10 engine.
