Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

What happened w/the 1st set of wheels that were on there?
I still have my old Kenesis wheels and will keep them around for a second set of tires. I saw these new Weld Racing wheels at the SEMA show last year and thought they were pretty cool. These are extremely light weight too. At first I thought about getting a set for some drag radials and some skinny front tires, but after the new chassis I went with a set for autocross and track events. These are 18 x 9.5 and 18 x 12.

Roadster Shop - I looked as close as I could at your IRS but couldn't tell - are there bushings in the diff mounting ? Is the pumpkin hard mounted to the chassis ? HOw is the NVH with that setup ? I assume it solves any kind of wheel hop issue.

If I keep the GTO that chassis might end up going under it.

Here's a link to a new video on Super Chevy's site from the suspension challenge at El Toro this year. Look for the January issue of SC for more coverage.

A few updates on the Chevelle. It arrived at SEMA this morning and will be on display outside representing Weld Racing Wheels. Also just got my copy of the January 2012 issue of Chevy High Performance. The Chevelle made it on the cover, with a freind's '72 TT Malibu, and there is a 5 page feature inside.
