Sweet pics, badass! Congrats Ray! Your wheelstand pic reminds me of my brother's orange EPP Camaro that went to the moon down in Memphis.

Congrats Ray, that was a crazy wheel stand and it's a good thing you got out of it when you did. I'm not sure if adding a wheel to the parachute mount would be considered a wheelie bar or not? Might save some paint..

Midwest Chassis & Performance, Inc. Is very proud to be associated with the Koolrayz racing team. This car had awesome performance right out of the shop.

Just goes to show you what can be done and done eve with mail-ordering the MWC front and rear suspensions and rearend packages. Every suspension and rearend component on Ray's car is a true off the shelf part for us and no custom work needed. When you order a rearend/torque arm from us for your street car you get the exact same housing components and craftsmanship and Ray and all the other class leading cars get.

The fastest stock suspension f-body cars are all on MWC suspension and you can have the same parts at the best prices!

Don’t forget strength, how many parts are engineered well enough to take bumper dragging wheelstands with no damage, we have all seen and heard horror stories of front ends being destroyed after on hard wheelstand much less the multiple times I have done it.
