Wow!! That looks like a very nice setup, question is this a street car or more of a race car? Will this rear setup work on the street?? Can't wait to see and here more!

Very cool, Ron. Will Deadpool be the street/show car while this one is the track car? Good luck!

This is intended to be a track car Rick. It's possible it'll have license plates though

The set-up would work well on either street or track. The shock and spring package as well as ride height would be the only limiting factors for the street. The benefit of this design is great articulation that puts the power down under acceleration and good contact patch when braking. It's also fully adjustable for roll center and set up tuning.

Merry Xmas Bro

Hey Trey! This is a slowburn project and I'll continue sorting / tuning DP for track duty when I can.

Hi Rick,

That's a great question. I'll provide the pros & cons ... then I think the question has to answered by each individual based on their criteria. A LOT of racing stuff is finding its way onto ProTouring & G-Machine cars driven on the street. This is no different, as I have a few other clients already running this set-up in their street/autocross cars.

1. Can it be driven on the street? Sure. You won't notice how it drives any different ... except when you roll on the throttle hard. It has instant grip & far more grip through out acceleration. I'll explain why later.

2. It won't affect ride quality at all.

3. But you can't run a back seat. The top link would be where the rear passenger sits on the right side of the car. So you need a raised floor or bulkhead fabricated from sheet metal & covered (or not).

4. Is it a race car piece? Yes. It is designed to provide optimum grip when the car has more power than the tires are designed for. The top link is a torque absorber. It cushions the shock to the rear tires at initial throttle application.

5. I tailor the spring rate & number of poly bushings to each application. Ron Myer's car will have slicks, so I spec'd it with fewer poly bushings & of a harder rate. For clients that run TW200 street tires ... we utilize more bushings & of softer spring rate. I have a client with a twin turbo LS that can be full throttle by corner exit on TW200 tires. Later ... if Ron Myer takes this car off the track & makes it a street car ... we'll change the poly bushings for the tires he chooses.
