Does anyone offer aftermarket LCA's??? Or are you road course guys running solid bushings in stock LCA's.

I did notice that Darrel Cox offers LCA's but are those intended for the drag racers only???

Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Hi every1,

The question stands... does anyone have a 3D drawing, like CAD or anything similar, of our srt-4?
I am getting a fluid dynamic program and would like to do some aero developements on our cars and would be great if someone had one that I could get without having to make one from scratch...

Thanks a bunch!:thumbsup:

I along with Jeff Stout have some of the most extreme SRT's in the country. Jeff is building a first full carbon fiber wide body car as we speak. We cannot figure out how you are doing this? Alot of people seem to think that they have some one off pieces or a combination that allows this, such as 3A rear nuckles and so forth. Every pic that I'm see of the cars with this tire combo look like they are stock ride height or just lowered very little? What offset wheel are you running, which I think might we the issue for us. Or are you not running much chamber? We hit the struts of our motons if we get any wider, and we have rear nuckle kits that Jeff designed to pull the wheels in almost a inch. Now are cars are lowered between 2" and 2.5".Could some of you with the combo please chime in. Also how are you not destroying axles and trannies? What horsepower are you making? If you could please fill us in we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Edward

I am looking for a z06 killer or keeper at bay. I live at/near a hp track, so the st3 under the hood is required. Anyway, I could buy a c5z06, but I want 4 doors, 4 seats. Just in case my daily breaks.

I am looking for the suspension guru's to chime in here. I see all the time that low hp cars with good drivers get held up with high power cars on the straight. So, the srt with a st3 underhood and a proper suspension could have the best of both, no?

I used to race a eblue st1, but it didn't go well. as I had a hodgepodge suspension.

i have no rules (HPDE days anyway), would like to keep a reasonable civility, as the car will be a sunday driver, driven to and from the track.

I put on 2000 miles of my 10000 miles last year at the track, and don't want to race the daily driver anymore. Camber/toe and pad/tire changes the night before a race day sucks. Its too much to do properly the night before. God forbid if anything goes wrong, etc.


I obviously want my cake and eat it. Is it possible?



Suitable responses of "I drive really fast in the mountains, and a z06 driver can't keep up" are not appropriate. No street racing stories. I am talking about track only. I have beaten 500hp vipers, GT3's etc, all driven by bad drivers. And could with a stock srt4. I am talking about a competent z06.

I have read the fastest times lap list, and quite frankly, some/most all aren't close to magazine z06 posted lap times. Now, I understand magazines sell, etc. What are track rats experience with their suspension and z06 lap times. If you lost by a very little bit, to me, is an accomplishment. FWD racing sucks, I never thought I would consider it again, but here I am.

I have the neon/fwd racing book by someone I can't remember, and would like people like 1lap to talk about their experiences ON THE TRACK only please.

Maybe once the thread is done, we could summarize different setups.

Things I hated/noticed from my last setup.
How do you get enough camber to make tires last?
Caster helps feel. How much are you guys getting? I had 6' before.
How long are front wheel bearings lasting?
What are you doing for lca bushings?
How do you help make the car feel less fwd, and get (maybe) some throttle lift oversteer? 50+psi inthe rears?
Anything else overlooked?

Budgets of small, medium and large should be addressed.

Small (not me, but others would like) $3k max.
Cheap coilovers
sways
LCA bushings

Medium (probably me) $5k or so
Better coils $2k? Koni/eiback or KW's
sways
Bushings all. LCA solid?
other suggestions

Large (racers) $8k or more
Motons, etc
custom fabricated stuff
very far removed from streetable, and really don't need "advice"

The pictures are the way the car is now with the stop tec BBK. This Sat. Im lowering the car should look sick.
I wish I had an in car video of this event cuz it was bad ass, took my brother Jason and Sany for a ride.
The video I'll post later was with the wilwood BBk it's not in car but has some good video of the car going down the track, Willwood only lasted til 2nd session each session is 20min. on a 3 mile track.

My car the Mach 6, I ran in the advanced group










This Z06 beast was in my group 550hp to the wheels is what he said.


You can see Sany's car the red acr in the background with mine in this picture.

Here is a quick video from Daytona this weekend:
YouTube - Daytona - Viper Days - WC SRT-4 - 10/25/09 - PBOC

I never really got in a good lap and the track can be intimidating but I am looking forward to Sebring in January for PBOC Winterfest which is going to be jointly run with Viper Days.

Interesting problem I encountered this weekend was the K&N intaek tube completely collapsing causing the car to lose power and then regain power a few seconds later after the elbow expanded back. My quick track fix was to insert a rolled piece of aluminum in the tube to hold the elbow open.
