Bush grand national stuff... Yes roundly round stuff
Never have locked or flat spotted any tires. I do have
315-18's out back. Car is mid engine and it took a while
To balance out but that is what it is about ..proportioning valve

He'll my old mustang (Chet's car now) had Baer 6 pistons
Up front and drums in the back. Car is very light but still
Stopped very well. 245-16's all the way around
That car was 2810lbs so that helps
Greg's should be lighter. Weight always wins in my book

Pantera is beefy at 3040 lbs

I've alway said it boils down to weight and tires. I'm always looking for ways to shed weight.
After 4 years of trying to balance the suspension(with what I'm working with anyways) I finally feel like its where i want it. Working on adding more power now and waiting to see what I'll break next.

Call Todd.



GW - I'm hoping it will be better after the battery is cycled a few more times.

Seems if you are over 600hp
That is where things start to break
But with the new tire tech it takes more
toll on drive train etc

I recently lost 10 lbs so my car is now lighter

I'm at 590hp so the motor must know that and say "fine... As long as you don't push it buster!!"

I just really don't understand why it takes some of you guys months and months and some even stretch into YEARS to get your car stuff done.... LOL




Powertrain is in.
Composite leafs have arrived - rear end is going in this week.
New corrected spindles shipped today
Shocks will be last thing to arrive later this week or early next.

The car will be all set up for you to pick up on October 16th.

Most of the cars on here are pro built.... and they're still years in the making.


But I do fully understand the dilemma which is why I put the LOL after my first line. I've been doing everything on my own for years now -- and I have to say it's pretty nice just making a few decisions and having it done!

You're right Stuart.... Doesn't matter what it is - if it has 4 wheels they're never done.

I feel like I'm just getting my drivers license! I can't wait to see if there's some real differences in the new set up. I only wish Gaetano was signed up - cause then I could lap his sorry butt. LOL

In my dreams.
