The ride is something that I was very interested in since it has the quadra-link rear suspension and DSE coilover/control arm setup in the front. However, Mark is running Bilstein shocks that he's had custom valved, and I'm not sure how the dynamics of those compare to the Koni shocks that come with the DSE kit. Mark also opted for 175 lb/in rear springs with a rear sway bar.
We only drove a small 5 or 6 mile loop so it's hard to get a real feel for it, especially with the horrendous Michigan roads. There were a lot of (what I would call) square edge bumps. We didn't take any corners, it was primarily a cruise with some WOT action.
I have a lot more time in the Mule and that thing rides awesome. It's sorted out, has a firm and tight ride that wasn't harsh. It's very balanced. It would be interesting to have Mark compare the two, Mule vs. Camaro X.
I must say I really like Steilow's build style... they all seem to have a nice stance and a clean look with tasteful wheels. He's one of the few well-known builders that doesn't try to go "over the top" with the looks, and keeps function over form
Hats off to Mark, I love it As I have with all of Mark's builds. He does top notch work and his taste is perfect in his builds. I can't wait to see the performance of the LS7.
I want to thank Mark for letting Jody, Jeff, Brent and I stop by his house and check out Camaro X in person this weekend. It's fantastic and everything I expected it to be. I have a ton of pics and video of it that I'll get online in the next few days.
