I was texting with Ron Sutton about some stuff ---- and I told him --- "I sure wish people could have lined up and driven the car before and after".
You just can't even imagine the improvements he's made to the car. The math doesn't work out - but I think I have TWICE as much brake -- and the difference is that I can go charging up to a corner and then apply the brakes SOFTLY and the car just responds by decreasing speed instantly... and the "dive" (might be the wrong word choice) just plants the front tires for initial turn in... I roll thru the turn and there's no lean... but it's not hard or jouncing around... There are videos on this forum that show cars that are so F'n stiff and they just loose grip instantly and are "twitchy". Trust me -- I don't want to drive ANY cars like that at speed! With Ron's secret sauce springs and shock combo - the car doesn't roll over - but it's compliant at the same time... Roll back into the gas and the car just digs and moves forward -- no drama... no squatting... no torque steer input. Just shoots forward. It's like the Lotus on steroids. The Lotus lacks torque. It CARRIES speed if you let it... and the braking is the best in any car I've ever driven -- until I got the new improved Ron Sauce Mustang.
