It would be nice to see the demensions of each cars in the info section of the setup screen. To be able to see the width and length of each car would help accuracy upon setting the steering of the cars, in order to figure out the true ackerman steering angle and the corresponding "parallel steer" %.

Ackerman steering explained here:

You can get such information by pressing O when in the garage (although it is written to a file rather than presented on screen).

0% parallel steer is true Ackermann in any car.

Note: your link is messed up.

Edit: having just read this, I don't understand the purpose of this thread. LFS already takes the wheelbase and track into account when setting the Ackermann.
So if 0% if true ackerman then, I cant have "more" ackerman?
and theis thread is useless having read this:

No, it is not possible to have anti-Ackermann steering in LFS, nor over-true Ackckermann. It's only the slider range that does not allow it.
