Re: How much G your Corvette pulls? (Chuck Harmon)
i have to agree with chuch harmon as well. my car handles close to that of a c-5 coupe, however, the trade-offs for that handling are brutal. the car rattles and creeks and will beat the living crap out of you on regular streets. even with my mods, i still have chassis flex. that and the conventional suspension set up makes the car very twitchy and unstable at the limit.
hmmm, unforgiving ride quality for normal driving and unforgiving handling at the limit... there is an old racing addage that says, "if you have a car that you use on the street and the track, it won't do either well." man, that is the truth.

yeah -- if I did more track than street, I would have the full suspension package in it and use a roll cage to stiffen it up. Get the front brace and also re-do all the welds on the frame. It helps some on the creaks and rattles.
