When I put up this post, I wanted to know what people are doing to go 200 mph, being that it sounds almost impossible to hit the actual 200 mph mark, I don't mind. Even if I can only be stable at 180 mph, that cool with me, but I have a goal to be able to do this. So far, I feel real comfortable at 150. The car is real stable and feels smooth and quiet. It's gets to there reall fast and smooth and also comes down from that speed real fast and smooth. At this point it really does'nt feel like I am going that fast at all, that's why I thought 200 would'nt be to far away! You never know, maybe someday.
All the safety stuff is easy as far as finding out what I need, that will just depend on where I race the car. My big concentration right now is part selection to make the car stable.
Currently I am thinking, Hal adjustable shocks(unless I get first hand input otherwise), HR parts adjustable rear anti roll bar, Y rated Tires like the newer G-force BFG's, Gear vendors overdrive unit to handle full power(4L80 will not hold).
From there I will try a local track day at Road America and just start creeping up in speed and see how the car acts. I will be interessted to see ho the car will react to individual changes in front and rear ride height. I would think keeping the rear where it is and lowering the front a tad more would be benificial for front end lift.
Would sure be nice to have unlimited access to a wind tunnel and move ride heights around to see what works best without have to even take it out! Has anyone seen any tests on an actual Chevelle?????
