Looks good! The photographers at the track do a great job don't they?

Hope to get down to your shop this spring for an alignment

Joe, could you please respond to another forum question (since you are Phoenix Racing) and let us know EXACTLY where (on the C5/C6 body or frame) to measure ride height, front and rear?
Thanks loads,

Delrin bushings in the arms?

What pads are you running on the OEM rear calipers?

Can it keep up with a C7 Z06

Hi Joe, it's your old buddy Brad from Tennessee, the pilot Brad, not the submarine Brad. Your car looks great. I follow your progress/exploits/wins in SCCA and miss seeing and talking to you. I'm working a deal on a C7 ZO6 as we speak. Obviously, not a track car, but a great street car. Take it easy...

Yes Delrin Bushings in all the control arms..

hawk dtc 60 one piece pads in rear calipers...

interesting question about the c7 Z06 comparo... with my choice of tires (Hoosier a7's) It will clearly outhandle the stock c7 zo6.. As for power the c7 z06 will make about 50 hp more at the crank.. Once the sc heats up who knows what they make...

I would like to try to run against the c7 zo6... and see what happens..

Hey Joe, I live about 2 hours north of your shop and would like you guys to set my ride heights and do an alignment. Would you have a ballpark price on what the would run me? Just the ride height and alignment, no scaling. It's a 2002 Z06, btw. Aggressive street settings.

Thanks I appreciate it.
