[REAL BOB JOHNSON]

GM spent millions of dollars on corvette suspensions over past time and they are proven street and track. My black car was a little to much. It had c-4 front and rear sus.with air bags Big block with turbos and was a little to much. It drove fine,handled pretty good but a little nose heavy. My new red car, I've tried to duplicate all the factory control points for the control arms other than moving them in to fit under the car because a vette tracks wider. Anybody can buy a bunch of bolt ons but I guess I like doing it the hard way.The motor I have now is a LS-7 with a cam and headers and once I'm done with everying else I will put a supercharger on. I would like to be done for GG @ boling green and charlotte. Thank's Bob

Thanks for the explanation Bob.

Glad you like doing things the hard way...it makes this project way more interesting.

Look forward to reading what your driving impressions of it are.

Not only does it have the sus, I'm using the ABS and traction control so it should be pretty cool

What, no air bags and crumple zones?

Get ready for a lot of attention.

Agree with the others, very nicely done build. I like how understated it looks.

Please post up some better photos of it completed

Some side pics from outside.The chassie is flush with the rockers so nothing hangs down,the exhaust goes down the center just like a corvette.The whole floor from the firewall to the rear tires is carbon fiber as well as from the rear axle to the rear body panel. Kinda like a belly pan

I hear you Bob which is why I'm doing much the same with Viper suspension on my Dodge Dart. Opted NOT to go with the Viper V10 because of weight distribution. Your build is awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.
