I'm glad you guys checked out the Dram Car Garage show. The episodes will get more interesting as the season progresses - they will be covering much of the technology we used to develop our cars, alot of which has never been applied to classic muscle cars - especially on the suspensions.
Much of the technology used is typically only available at the OE manufactrurer level or to professional race teams - i.e. F1, IRL, Champ and even NASCAR. We are really, really fortunate to have been able to use the tools and technology applied.
Not sure if you guys are familiar with four post rigs or how torsion tests are performed on a chassis. This will be on Dream Car Garage, but we've also explained it and showed it on our website. If you look in the suspension development page of the Xv Engineering section it lists the steps used to develop our suspensions. Click on the descriptions and it show what these are and explains them.
We've really tried to develop as many aspects of the cars as we can using the latest and best technology (and engineers) available in each specific area. We are basically re-engineering every aspect of these cars other then their looks.
I think you will find the upcoming Dream Car Garage episodes very interesting.
