Thanks, it is turning out to be a pretty cool little truck. The chassis is unchanged from when the truck was on the road in "original paint" last year.

Skip, thanks for the compliments, but we are probably not going to re-produce those. They were more of a 1-off design for this car and would be too labor intensive to produce in any quantity. :thumbsup:

Does the C-10 have a rs performance IRS in it? If not, what kind of suspension are you running in it?

The truck has a 9" with parallel 4-bar rear suspension. We built the truck before we had completed the Fast Track IRS unit. There are some build pictures where you can see various pics of the chassis on our web site.

What is your impressions of the
 
ABS electic brakes on the car above? Good modulation or are they a bit touchy?

Roadster Shop 10-10-2011 08:28 PM

Yes, it is an ABS electric brake unit. We have used several of them so far and really like them for cars that aren't going to see a lot of track time. They are a hair on the touchy side, but no where near as sensitive as some of the hydraulic units we have used in the past. The pedal feel is great for a street car, I would say OK for a track car. I still prefer a manual brake set up for track and auto x use for better modulation and pedal feel.

I would relate the ABS unit to a new foreign car. Have an Audi A4 and it is a real similar feel.
