Stock Suspension Record?

Searching 'Stock Supsension or Suspension Record' is turning nothing.

So....

Whats the fastest an LTx car has gone with stock suspension? Im not talking stock style either.

I mean how it came from the factory. All the stamped parts.

Has anybody even 'tried' to set that record? I would think its pretty pointless for a record of this type, but hell we have records for everything.

So if anybody knows please Chime in

Tony.

I ran stock everything, rear end (3.23) gear, stock tq arm, LCA, pan hard, bushing etc etc on a nitto drag radial.

I did a best of 12.084 at 113.00mph with a 1.7X 60 foot. I am sure its not the best but I have done it.

Combo, 383 w/ Hotcam, Ported heads, all bolt ons, 2000 stall with a 3700 pound race weight

I went 11.33 @ 118 with a 1.53 60ft. on a 100 shot NX kit with completely stock suspension. That was when I had a hotcam.

Too be honest, I can't see how it would be very fast then. Most people who are into going real fast do the suspension mods first or have some kinnda shocks, panhard, torque arm. Hell I boxed my stock LCA's not that long after I bought my 94

Its a good question though, I would be curious to know what the limits of the stock suspension truly is.

Thats excatly what i thought.

Think about it, a High HP car is going to snap TQ arms left and right, its going to squat and launch like ****.

Why not make 800hp and run stock suspension, all the cool kids ARENT doing it.

I thought Tony did that stock 'style'?

I was always confused about that, when people say stock suspension its really like $7k in suspension but its stock style. No 4 Link or latterbars.

His new set up is "stock style"...but the 9.8 was "stock" other than TQ-arm...I knew he was stock or close to it , that is why I called him before posting
