Default I have been busy at work or I would have posted

sooner. Fantastic car and thanks for beating on it so everyone can see what is possible with your chassis. I know it is hard to thrash something as nice as that vette.

I can;t wait for the full write up.

Congrats guys.

First off all Craig - Congrats on the testing. These reults come to no surprise to me seeing that you guys are on top of your game - IMO. Nice to see you guys beating up on the Vette. Seeing it at SEMA and knowing you planned on thrashing it amazed me. The car is so beautiful. Almost a shame to drive it...Notice I said almost!! I'm sure it is a blast to drive. Doing the testing must have been fun. Curious as how well the Camaro did. That thing is supposed to be a bad hombre as well. Once again - Props to AME.

Patiently waiting for video.

Glad to hear that the car worked so well. A poor 60' is to be expected and can easily be improved on.

Here's a pic that Steve shot while the car was pulling over 1g while on fire.


Stay tuned to PHR, they are going to run the feature/testing + 3 other stories on the buildup of the car.

Thanks Steve- and yes it will be at Columbus
You might want to add beadlocks to the rear wheels if you plan on turning that monster any harder. Very impressive

These don't seem to play so well in the browser, at least not for me. Try downloading and playing them locally. They're from my digital camera so sorry about the quality.

Vette Slalom

Vette Burnout

This gives you a good feel for how flat the car corners... as you can tell from the slight slide at the end, it was just on the edge of losing its grip but you can hardly tell because it's cornering so flat!

Vette Lateral Acceleration

I downloaded the raw file off the video camera and it was 900 megs. After cutting out all the crud, it's still a 675meg file. Too bid to burn onto a CD, and when I burn it onto a DVD it comes out choppy. Be patient grasshoppa, video uploaded to AME site soon.

Hey thanks Brent- it was great to finally meet you this year at Pleasanton! The Camaro had some setup issues that need to be sorted out with a bit more track testing.
