Yep, this car was certainly built for Weld, now he knows what its like for normal people to get into street cars :poke:

This build is awesome. How did Lance know its a zero scrub car from the pics? Is it the large front wheel BS or did he know for talking to you? Maybe I need to go back thru my classroom notes....

Its also crazy how small the car looks overall with the body off and how huge the tires are. Cant wait until Greg brings it out to COTA for some fun.

I figured it out from measuring the scrub radius on my own car (with Ron's tutelage of course). By seeing where the KPI pointed in relation to the tread contact patch...I could tell right away it was a MUCH better setup than on my (or most) car for sure.

And because I'm pretty sure this Sutton guy would NEVER build a clean sheet, unlimited class race car and NOT have it zero scrub. :)

Big wheel + minimal lippage = little to no scrub. C4 Corvettes achieved this . . .

I didn't know your Mustang was built that way. Cool !

Saw this in Monkton Maryland while working, figured Greg was far enough into the project, and the billing cycle. That this sign was probably feeling applicable. LOL

Howdy everyone!

Our client Ron Ver Mulm installed one of our GT Decoupled 3-Links in his autocross car recently & used his GoPro to capture the first runs. After watching the video, it was easy for me to know the rebound valving & spring rate are spot on, but his application needs stiffer compression valving & a taller, softer & more progressive bump stop. He ran his fastest runs ever with our new GT Decoupled 3-Link, over his conventional 3-link. After we change the compression valving & bump stop, he'll most likely shave another .3-.4 off his lap times.

For those not in the know ... the decoupled 3-link is the highest grip, fastest rear suspension available period. The shock version won so many Trans Am races back in the day, they outlawed it. (You can run our TA version legally in Trans Am, which uses poly bushings & no shock.)

We utilize this "shock controlled" decoupled 3-Link rear suspesnion in all of our GT Track-Warrior cars. Greg's GT Track-Warrior has this same suspension.

Got questions? Want one for your autocross or track car?
