When auto designers speak of a platform (lambda, kappa), what all is that? What goes into a "platform?"

Amazing what you can learn around here . . . (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
OK, so what platform was the Monza on? That is an interesting platform, seems to be popular with the Land Speed racing guys to this day. I guess maybe because it has a small frontal area and drag coeffient for something that can pack a V8 engine. |
