One Lap - Stock subframe, rewelded, ATS coil-over set up, tubular control arms, ATS spindles, ATS steering box, Baer Trackers and ATS splined sway bar.

Bad Penny - 21st Century Street Machine subframe using coilovers, C5 control arms, uprights and hubs, AGR rack and pinion and a splined swaybar.

Both have LSx engines putting out well north of 500hp, both use T56's and the Lateral Dynamics 3 Link rear suspension. (That list tells you something doesn't it?) So far as I can determine, the only material difference (other than the obvious subframe difference) between the two is that Penny (I think) carries wider front wheels and tires.
==============================
My car has a LS3 (600 hp, not in yet), Tremec 5 Speed, LD 3-Link, Penske Shocks DA Front, Spax Shocks DA rear, ATS Coil Over set up, ATS Steering Box, the ATS Spindles won't work with the wheels because I want to Run Mini-Lites, 6 Pot Wilwood, 13 inch Two Piece Rotors, Sway Bar by Hotchkis. Full Cage.

Hopefully this will help with the comparison. While not exactly the same, most major parts are.

Thanks,

Ty
