Thanks. These seem to differ slightly from those on Wikipedia. I wonder who is right?

Diablo 104.3" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Diablo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Diablo)
Murcielago 104.9" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Murci%C3%A9lago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Murci%C3%A9lago)
Reventon 104.9" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Revent%C3%B3n (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Revent%C3%B3n)
Aventador 106.3" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Aventador (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Aventador)

Not much of a difference to worry about but still...

All well and good except that with the Audi suits/threats involved, the body molds may have different wheelbase measurements to skirt the issue.  Get the body that you are going to use and measure the wheelbase on it before building your chassis to oem specs.  OR redesign your body to accept the oem spec chassis.

Seems that everyone stretches the fiero 10.5" for the g28 body. So that would leave you at 103.9" which seems to be correct for that body.  The Chassis works frame is set at 104" per the drawings. I agree with getting the body first would be your best bet.

to add to the wheelbase issue,  measure both sides of the car, you will be entertained to find out the G28 body has a different position for the drivers front wheel well than the passenger side... this requires cutting and pasting body panels to correct for those who like to do that sort of thing...

Inches are ideal for length and ......girth , but for chassis's (?) , mm are the way to go . I know ....I'm not going to convert anybody , but worth a go . Don't get me started on RHD though , or worse 3 pin plugs. ::toothy
