To Scott or Jody,
How was the ride in the X? Can you guys give us an explaination?

The X is sitting just right!

The ride is something that I was very interested in since it has the quadra-link rear suspension and DSE coilover/control arm setup in the front. However, Mark is running Bilstein shocks that he's had custom valved, and I'm not sure how the dynamics of those compare to the Koni shocks that come with the DSE kit. Mark also opted for 175 lb/in rear springs with a rear sway bar.

We only drove a small 5 or 6 mile loop so it's hard to get a real feel for it, especially with the horrendous Michigan roads. There were a lot of (what I would call) square edge bumps. We didn't take any corners, it was primarily a cruise with some WOT action.

I have a lot more time in the Mule and that thing rides awesome. It's sorted out, has a firm and tight ride that wasn't harsh. It's very balanced. It would be interesting to have Mark compare the two, Mule vs. Camaro X.

I must say I really like Steilow's build style... they all seem to have a nice stance and a clean look with tasteful wheels. He's one of the few well-known builders that doesn't try to go "over the top" with the looks, and keeps function over form :thumbsup:

Hats off to Mark, I love it :hail: As I have with all of Mark's builds. He does top notch work and his taste is perfect in his builds. I can't wait to see the performance of the LS7. :thumbsup:

Awesome... more pics! Maybe one every few hours? :_paranoid

Ok, here are a couple of short videos. Nothing spectacular, but you'll get a good idea how bitchin the stance is and how it sounds.

More pics coming soon. :thumbsup:

I'm curious on how long the build time was?

WOW! Those videos were cool, I am normally not a fan of digit gauges, but I liked that! Loved the blacked out wheels!! Jealous!



Thanks
Tim
