Dang that looks awesome. I would imagine it would cost a ton though as mentioned. Maybe they wanna use one of our cars as a test car I've pretty much given up hope on finding a solution for using IRS and drag racing. Besides when you get up into the 500hp + rating you had better not corner that thing hard anyway. That back end will come out so fast you'll never even know it. With that kind of power hard cornering is not gonna work out so well

You can click on reply with quote to see how to embed it.



Looks like he didn't know how to drive or was caught off guard. Plenty of guys at over 600rwhp and still corner.

It is running a C6Z LS7 which is atleast 500hp and the car will be able to corner with the IRS. I'd wager the car is over 3,500lbs as well. Many of the guys over on that forum run track events and autox in their musclecars.

Members were asking about the previous frame as it is a Schwartz chassis with a solid axle which is a very nice chassis.

If you want to look around Yelcamino, AndrewB70, and TommyComfort all have nice A-bodies over there that can handle.
