Tiger Tilt?

[canbeam]

Wonder how far this machine would go before a Tiger would tip? Apparently London buses had to be able to go to 28 degrees, loaded with sandbags in all the seats, like it was full.

45 degrees would be equivalent to a 1g lateral acceleration, and I'm sure a Tiger (with enough grip) would do that without flipping over.

Anyone know the CG height of a Tiger? I might have to go measure mine...

the centerline of gravity in a rotisserie is less than 3 inches above the bumper bolts.
At least my tiger was absolutely stable on the rotisserie with axles and tires mounted at this point.
But the unloaded springs and the missing interior and top will have been working in my favor.

with the axles off the car, but engine and tranny inside it was slightly unstable... so I guess 3 inches above bumper bolts is correct.
