1.2G lateral... air-ride claims valid??

They need a G-body setup.

I don't know what tires that was on.. could have been DOT R-compound tires.. but thier stuff has won enough auto-x events to have me convinced.

Cool, thanks! Just wanted to make sure. He should be out at PRI, then, right?

Yep, but on here I'm just another knucklehead that spends way too much cash on this hobby. lol

I would imagine Bret would be at PRI. They are also sponsors on this board and will eventually see this thread and respond

The 1.2 number was achieved in the 66 Chevelle that placed 2nd at Run Through the Hills 3. Here is the track data link. And if you down load it you can follow it around the track

With every trick suspension set up available to us, we selected the Street Challenge set up for Project EmptyNest. Period.

Bret will be here for PRI, along with a half dozen other of the Air Ride crew.

Well, true, but it's still cool.

If they do see this thread, maybe they'll walk on over to my thread and see what they think about beating the M3.

I know. I believe Keith's 1.17 was sustained, the logging was done on a Racepak G2X and at Brainerd. Hopefully he will see this and chime in.

Not knocking Bret's setups at all, they certainly do produce results. A good driver and well sorted out chassis helps a lot too.

I guess I'm an idiot, someone chime in and set me straight. With the car on air ride, when you lower the car it removes air that to me would seem to ride more sloshy and not handle as well as with more air and higher. Is it more the other suspension setup pieces that contributes to the handling numbers or is it the air.
