Get a BIG HORN BUDDY! A BIG HORN.... 'cause that's some "killer" stuff right there!!


EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

that's a good ? greg , Can you use "Killer" ???? i think someone owns that??? not sure.


The car is Awesome, and i hope this proves that our stuff is everybit as good or better than the competition. the car does not have the HP that alot of the others do, it is only 510 at the crank, so the straight away speed is not as great so that does have an effect on how the car finishes, if it had 850 hp like stielos car???? who knows,

i can Garantee 98% of people can not drive their cars the way this one gets driven on the track!! after going for a ride in the car (i am the drag race driver remember that). and the fact that it does'nt need alot of tweeking to get it to this level, is the cool part. we have been adjusting shocks and tire pressure and that is IT.

the sway bar is the first rear bar we have installed on the torque arm, it will be available as an add on early 2011. it is a 1" adjustable unit we mat actually go down to 3/4 but make it more adjustable, still working with Helwig on that part but it did hepl the car out on the big track and didn't hurt it on the short track, we were skeptable if it would make the car oversteer but it does not, so we will be producing them now.

It's good to see you really testing and dialing in your setup. That will make it so much easier for your customers to find the balance in their car. I had it with my R888's but haven't found the sweet spot with the BFG's just yet. It takes time. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have the same manufacturer on both ends of my car. After all, most of us don't have the time to really sort out a suspension set up thoroughly. Not in a reasonable time frame anyway. You proving your components can compete is a huge step forward in my eyes. Now all you need is some horsepower.
