Default Red Rocket Update
The Wheel has finished with the engine so now we can start getting the ball rolling officially. Here are some pics of the rear end and suspension and the progress me and Kevin made thisa afternoon at Stenod's.



























Thanks again to Stenod Performance for putting together what was thought to be the impossible less than a year ago!

Tom

Why does it look like the rear shocks are bolted to the drag bar? Weird.

Drag bar?

Thats a rear brace that not only strengthens the rear but ties in the coilovers and the wishbone.

It looks like there might be another 7sec LSx car at the dragstrip soon. Good luck with it.

I hear you are enjoying the hell out of your car! Stop being a Sally and turn the boost up, 12 lbs. is no fun.
