Can you share any differences or design principles behind your new sub? Appreciate any insights.

Steering geometry, rail design, torsional stiffness, and overall appearance are different.

It took me 3 weeks to get the steering geometry to what I feel is "road race quality". Not to say this is a race-only subframe, but should feel absolutely killer around sweeping corners. I had the California coastal highway in mind when designing it. It's meant to drive, period.

Default Mr. Confused

No I dont plan flaring the living hell out of the fenders.Nore do I plan screwing up my scrub radius.I am am doing this because it is america and I can. I am building a car 68 camaro W/18X11 wheels on the front now. The car has no flares or screwed scrub radius. Wheels 3in. out 9in. in back spacing. And no hacked up frame. My next camaro is going to be pretty much bad ass. Any body can buy some one elses front subframe bolt on a set of 8 or 9in. wheels and call it good. I like building stuff you cant buy. I want a camaro that will be differant than any thing you have see before. Every camaro I have built drives better than the last one.So these two should be no differant.I hope. The bottom line is I am nuts. Thanks Scott.
