You suck dave! Just keep rubbin it in don't you.....damn I love the way that thing looks leaving.

I see you got the bars on it like we discussed the other day on the phone. Looks a little safer like that, and more predictable.

Looks like the right side is hitting a little harder than the left in the picture.

Corky and I notived that our drivers side also seems to bite a little harder, always has rubber on the courter panel and is usually the side the breaks stuff first. Perhaps a touch more shock pressure on the right side would even things out. But I am sure you will get it figured out.

God I wish I had those tires under my car - I would like to put some more gear in my car - I shift at 7k rpm, but only cross the finish line at 6400rpm - think more gear would be better for me at the end.

What gears are you running in yours Dave? 4.11s? With a 2.52 1st in your t350? And what size tires are you now at?

Tthanks and car looks awesome as always. Will have to show the wife these new pictures....sooner or later I will wear her down enough that she will just say - for the love of god; go get it done. - she just doesn't know what a 1.2X 60' time would feel like, almost got her in the car the other weekend for a 1.3X run, but she chickened out.

Most cars hit the left side harder and unload the right-side. That's one of the reasons you see a lot of coil sprung cars run an airbag in the right side (or if they run them in both they run more air in the right side). That's where corner weights come into play. Put more weight on the right rear. The best way is with an adjustable rear swaybar, but bags are usually what people choose. Unfortunately on a C4 it's harder to adjust without an adjustable style sway bar.

Congrats to a neighbor in Marlyand. Between you and Wheelsup and that Yellow convertible, you make me jealous when I am at Capital at the same time. I can not imagine being that fast. Maybe with my new trick shocks from Wheelsup, I can pull a wheelie too one day.

Thanks guys,

I just sent Jeese a couple more shots to post from recent weekends without the "TRAINING WHEELS". We should put your engine in this thing!

The right wheelie bar does hit first because the left wheel hitting first 'steers' the car right. Once you get a balance the car goes straight.

Still aTh350 w/2.52 & a 4.10, any more gear and I'd be in beeeg trouble! Tires are 12.2s like a lot of the superstockers run and they WORK!

Dave
