Congrats on the 9's man



Just curious; I noticed on the launch that the rear of the car was bouncing. Have you had the rear shocks tighter and the car wouldn't hook, or have you not tried tightening the rear shocks?

I actually didn't make any adjustments yet. I was so happy about how the car was actually working for once that I didn't give it any attention.

Driver error. lbo c6z runs 9's. but it takes a lot for a gt500 to run with an NA vette so you're actually doing really well. Congrats man!

I found that my car is faster without a lot of movement (bouncing), seems like my fastest passes came (and best 60 ft's) are when my car is very smooth.

Impressive. Nice job.

Can these handle more SBE than the 13-14 trinity? Ive heard people talk that they were not as stout as they had hoped.
