What is a good ackerman percentage for a passenger car?
I am building a custom car to use as an often driver and it won't be used for racing at all. It will occasionally be used to tow a trailer with a 1911 touring car on it. the trailer and touring car probibly weigh about 2/3rds as much as the car. does the towing application affect your suggestions for ackerman percentage?
