Car looks great in motion.

I'm sure if it was built for the track only it would have different spring ratings. I was just looking for a solid car on and off the track and that is just what I got!

Thanks

Good on you for taking it out for some thrashing!
I gotta say I'm pleasently suprised, most cars of this quality sit exclusively on pedistals in overly decorated garages.
Very, very cool!
Are you going to any other events this year with the car? I'd love to see it in person.

Shux, I don't see Goodguys Chicago on the list
Planning to go to that event and hitting the autox with the 'ol Rambler, but I'm sure plenty of Forum guys will be looking forwad to catching this in real-life.

No love for us NW guys either. I don't blame ya or the Rings, it's a long ways up here and our GG's Show doesn't have an auto-x!

Perhaps a bigger front sway bar would help without stiffing the ride?

Spike TV Power Block. Sat. Jul. 9 & 10... watch it if you can.

Ring Brothers will be talking with Courtney with the Dragon front and center. Maybe she will touch it...

I've seen this car up close (twice now) and spoken with JA Stoner at SEMA, the car is incredible top to bottom, front to back... and Mr Stoner is a class act himself and a very nice man. It was a thrill to have not only one but TWO ring bros. cars in the studios at one time!, although Dragon nudges past the other car on the sheer ambitiousness of the build... It's really interesting to see Mike and Jim beat the holy poo out of these cars, and have complete confidence in not only the cars being able to handle it, but to have the confidence that if there's a rock chip or a cone mishap... "it's only paint", and it can all be recreated and represented as well again... Im a huge fan of the RINGs, their company, and their products. It's great to see guys like this rise to the top of the heap by virtue and good old fashioned hard work and integrity. ( not to mention insane talent and vision)

Trust me, if you get a chance to see this car ( or any Ring creation) up close... take the time and do it! it will inspire you, i'm sure.
