what numbers??? the ONE shoot out test?
cause its sure not goemetry number... i have yet to see heidts provide and REAL information about their suspension products aside from "g-machine handling"
as far as the shoot out goes, obviously you dont really know mary, she's an extemly nice induvidual with a kind way with word.
im not say the car was probabaly a piece but Im sure deep down she feel that heidts car couldnt hold a candle to the dse 2nd gen!
remember she said it was a nice street car.

OK, Please read SLOWLY>>>> When pricing comes into play its the best system for the money! Why pay thousands more?
Were in a recession right?

Which means: Its the best buy for the buck.

Plus, no where did I claim to know Mary P.

Come on... did you read the whole thread???

no where did i indicate you know mary... i was refering to the fact that your using the shootout info for your argument in which the car was tested by mary...

NO... its not the best buy for the buck!
an aftermarket equiped factory sub frame will be the best bang for the buck...
as of right now the heidts is just a "hey i got an afermarket subframe!" type of deal... if you wanna settle for that, then i guess it works.



also to be noted just cause a company start building parts for "muscle car" doesnt mean thier all of a sudden all about performance!
i dont know about others but when i use the term "street rod" company i dont just mean 32 fords... i mean FORM OVER FUNCTION. be it a 69 camaro/70 nova/tri-five etc

also rodgers post was a great post and hit the nail on the head... take it or leave it.

How's this Jay. I do know Mary. I've spoken with her at length about the Heidts Camaro. She definitely liked it. There were things about both the DSE car and the Heidts car that she didn't like, but were things that could be fixed, and probably have been already. Apparently the Heidts car is plenty capable of handling itself. She LOVED the DSE car, but I don't think that's the point here. I've also spoken with Mark, the owner of Heidts. He's dedicated to making his components perform. He's very into the performance side of things and is making the moves to get there. He did spend time at a track doing some tuning to get the car ready for the Super Chevy Shootout. He wants in bad and I think their stuff could very well be capable pretty soon.

Oh, and I'm not speaking for either of them. Just stating my knowledge of the items at hand.

I am using a full line of Heidts products on my 70 Camaro build. I have been in there factory. The quality of there work is as good as anyones. I have talked personally face to face with there engineers about chassis geometry. The head engineer works with race teams in his free time. I have also talked with Mark the new owner of Heidts & he is a real car guy not just some guy behind a desk, he's out there working side by side with his engineers to bring customers a great product for there hard earned dollars. I say lets see what comes from future testing from my own car & others. See Ya out on the track.

I am in the process of building my 68 camaro and I purchased a complete heidts sub frame for it before it went up to over $4200 ( when I got it it was still $3700!!)...I did this after looking at many of the others that were out there too, for what i am building I found it to be the right choice for me...I AM on a budget and by comparison to the THOUSANDS more I would have spent going elsewhere I am completely satisfied by the quality of the Heidts set up that I received, and i was very happy with the service and tech help I received from Mark and the rest of the crew when calling them about any questions I had.......I am sure that ALL of the aftermarket sub frames and their guys are great, But I definatly dont see any reason to call the heidts products the "Red-headed step child"!!!
