Default Autocross

First time out on the autocross, did horrible but had a blast. Check out the video. The Caddy was a blast to watch too!

Your car looks awesome! Autoxing is an acquired skill. I'm still trying to figure out how long it's gonna take to acquire it.

Very nice! Love the stance... what kind of spring/suspension setup are you running in the front/rear?

It's a Art Morrison subframe with a G-bar rear. I like the front but wished I would have went with a DSE rear suspension, or just DSE front and rear.

Why do you say that (about the rear)? What do you not like about the G-bar rear? Asking bc I plan on going with a built rear and 4-link after Xmas.

Car looks absolutely amazing! Where did you get that billet bracket to bolt the master up to the firewall?

A few of members with some decent horsepower and allot of racing are getting some cracks in the rear frame rails from the upper control arms pulling on the cradle. See Vegas 69 thread. When I got back from this trip I found them on mine. If you do run this set up you need to either replace the frame rails or seriously beef them up. Or just go with DSE.

Thanks man! The new tune made 602 at the rear wheels, it's about a 100HP or better off. I think the inlet to the Pro Charger is the restriction. I have a few things in mind, but I've been busy working out the other little bugs, it is wicked fast with the 600HP and got 20mpg on my 700 mile round trip.

Defiantly want to install some clear bra on it!!
