If so to get that low down look that may not be such a bad option. Could you elaborate? Thanks.
All I know about that test is that those were the numbers the car ran. I have the run sheet and I double checked all their calculations.

It ran the best times with the Nitto tires. I could easily find the tire and wheel sizes.

It's all in the tuning.. hell, Alcino ran numbers about that good and better than most of the exotic stuff and his suspension certainly wasn't exotic by any stretch..

I don't understand you comment about the "low down look".. of the red Camaro?

Also, I should restate that I am sure the DSE deal performed well. It's just that those numbers are not possible given the data I read. According to that the car was way faster than any other car, even a new vette, BEFORE they even installed the parts. lol
