I guess ideally the drop arm should be near the ball joint. I dunno the exact arrangement described. Maybe it raised the pivot point so the drag link was more horizontal.
The steering is certainly fast by most standards. But saved me from some terrifying metal road oversteer lurches and near roll overs on occasions. I have had grass trapped by the rim and returned to earth.
When running the Seven I was never fussed when finding adresses if went past. It was just a flick of the wrist to do a U turn. With later cars, despite similar turn circle, it was major undertaking.
From TV GP cars seem to steer like Sevens.
In my younger days I had driven little else. A mate gave me a drive of his fathers Ford Pilot with lots of lost motion. I pulled out to overtake a car and ended up on the far side grass! I was not too embarassed. Mates were scared to take the Seven past 40 mph.
