dam this is awsome and such a small motor to do it on also. i dont understand why this post has not got more replys on it. i think this is a breakthrough in GEN3 technology. does anyone know if there is still a torque arm under the car?

Re: Another 8-second LS1 F-body! Torque arm is still used, it is a aftermarket tube one. Lower control arms are on stock mounts, but arms are Wheel to Wheel one off pieces built for this car.

Re: Another 8-second LS1 F-body! Is this the fastest "Stock Style Suspension" LS1 around right now????? 
Very sweet car and gives me hope that a 'vert can go fast, very fast. What all has been done to the car chassis and frame support wise?

Re: Another 8-second LS1 F-body! Well, the C5R block was originally designed for LeMans racing.. The rules more or less say the engine has to externally appear stock, hence why the C5R block works so beautifully..
So I guess the C5R block is like a race derived half brother to the ls1...

Re: Another 8-second LS1 F-body! it is as much of an ls1 as an A4 Bennet race block is a ford 302. while it isnt a true ls1/6 motor, it is the same family, kinda, sorta, in a weird drunk blurry kinda way
