If anyone knows the center of balance of an 86 740 I can figure out how far one can tip it sideways before it turns over? Or, does anyone know how high you can lift one side before it rolls (while the car is not moving)? I'm just curious... if I know the theoretical center of mass then I can calculate how fast I could go around corners while taking friction and such into account :)
