While you are looking at the car, will you check the upper and lower control arms, the size of the front brakes, front sway bar, and anything else you think is reportable. I'm dying to find out. Thanks

Upper and lowers are from DSE, AFX spindle, Baer 14" 6 piston calipers, currently a Hotchkis sway bar, but he will be swapping to our Spline-Tune bar later.

You are the man!

I thought DSE arms and AFX spindles would not mate up?

He is using a Bilstein coil over shock, and we will we working with him on releasing the kit for use on factory subframes. It is similar to the DSE weld in coil over kit, but you don't relocate or remove the upper control arm mounting position, you don't need to have the engine out to install it, and you can actually adjust the ride height in the car, unlike the DSE one.

I have lots of pictures of this car. I have not seen it in person, but Mark and I speak once a week about it. I'll update my website this month to add all the build shots Mark has sent us.

Our spindles will work with ANY control arm, factory or aftermarket. In fact, the only few we recommend is GW, DSE and SC&C, but they will work with speedtech, fatman, heidts, BMR, etc. Our tall spindles are not to be used with the weld in DSE coil over kit, due to the relocated upper control arm pick up points. We do offer a short spindle to go with a guldstrand mod, DSE coil over kit, or SC&C tall ball joint application.

congratulationsn Tyler, you guys are really making it, and you guys did it in a very respectable way. All you need now is a new division of your company of people testing stuff at the track or in parking lots. Only thing that no other company has right now.

as for the steilow-mobile, looks very nice and the LS7 is the best motor I could think of to put in a PT ride, however I am a little dissapointed, doesn't really look all that innovative, but I'm sure he has reasons for everything. Hard to top yourself after building something like the Mule. I guess a car that works well and is actually used is better than a one off showcase that never does anything

One thing to remember is that not all these parts were not available when he built the mule. Is he going to keep this one or is Charlie going to end up owning it?

I know what you are saying regarding the Camaro X engine bay vs the Mule's engine bay. The Camaro X grew on me after looking at it for a while. I see it as how GM would do it if they offered an LS7 in factory trim. No extra beauty covers or billet bling, just pure function with full open road race capability.

I like that about Mark. He builds things with an engineering stand point, and it must function above all else. If it can be made to look good while doing so, then bonus. I can't wait to see what he does with it on the open track days.
