Several things about the Corvette video.....


#1 - judging from the bouncy ass rear --- the shocks in that one are junk


#2 - I've never had a "sloppy" steering box in one - EVER - the reason for that is I always sent the box to RED HEAD STEERING in Seattle Washington --- DONE.

#3 - Ditto the brakes being "okay for an old car". With modern pads (on properly bedded rotors) - the cars brakes are FINE. Not 6 piston StopTechs - but more than "okay for an old car"....

#4 - I don't care what you attempt to do to the side exhaust - you're not going to stop them from burning the back of your calf IF you touch them... so don't waste the effort. Just remember they're there (you can't forget because your ears should be ringing) and when you swing out of the car - don't touch them. I'm 5'5" with short legs -- it was NEVER a problem. You also get in the habit of reminding your passengers. It's just that simple.
