New or old shocks for drag racing?
I know it's a wierd question, but I was wondering if older gas shocks on my C5 will let the weight transfer slightly better to the rear than brand new shocks?
I am making my final 1/4 mile runs this spring and wondering if I should delay installing my new C6 Z06 shocks.

Back in the old days, they sold what were known as 90/10 shocks that had tons of compression dampening and almost no rebound dampening. So they would essentially hold the front end up for a while when racing. I guess you could get somewhat the same, but lesser, effect from worn shocks.
