Default Parachute ?

I know basically all the big vendors sale them but who has the best deals going right now and what is the best chute to buy for a roughly 3400-3500lb camaro. Stroud or simpson and if you guys could give me some part #'s that would help cause how stroud does the weight thing. I think simpson basically has a sportsman style. Thanks

Stroud on my old roadster, but just picked up a new simpson on the bullet for a hell of a deal. Believe Stroud can damn near be rolled in a ball and put in the bag...and it still deploys like normal. Just my .02 Chuck

ok on the Stroud chutes which chute would I need? When I do the equation for weight and mph it says I need there 700.00 dollar one but everyone I know uses the 350-400.00 one with no problems. Like mentioned above the car will should be around 3400lbs and should trap in the 150 range.

I run dual Stroud cannons on mine, and they hit smoother, and I can pack 2 Strouds, faster then the Simpson on my Camaro.
