My point was that most people that buy Corvettes (including you, when you get your FRC) don't really care about dig racing... they mod their cars to their taste, and take the races that come across. And most street races just happen to be from a roll. So unless they are going to be taking their car to the track (or are really serious about the street, which is even more rare), they don't touch the suspension beyond the typical drop/shocks.

subframe connectors are starting to become a popular mod with most any car. You can get a decent set for under $200, and they make a huge difference in keeping the car straight. I've seen people get them along with their exhaust with their 1st mods. The people that usually just get a CAI and think they gained 20rwhp are now realizing what subs can do as far as launching.

thats cool, here you go.
But no one cares about your stock TBSS.
Ive done digg races many times before . But with just a cam and bolt ons it blows the stock 245s right off from a first gear roll. Digg is even worse.
And yes breaking stuff does suck, and has happend to me before.
So Ill say it again, I dont do digg cause my car isnt setup for it. Its my daily
People on here can call me out all the want, I say 50 roll or you can go home. No big deal for me.
Cool aid pretty much summed it right up, Plus I cant seem to find any money trees

but come on saying u will blow off the tires in first i do believe that but u can use throttle control not just punch it. im sure ju1ce would spin most of first if he just floored it and not use throttle control. found it funny u would call ju1ce out but wouldnt give him his race speed like he gave u

From my understanding of the rear in the V, if you try taking off fast in 1st you will more than likely wheel hop if you don't spin, in turn leads to destroyed diffs. This is only what I have gotten from researching the V's compared to the GTO. I am lookin at gettin one or the other, the diff in the V scared me, but overall I like the V better. Just have to be smarter about driving not to break something. The only fix I have seen for the rear is the viper diff and all custom fab work after equalling around $7000 or so. To me roll racing is the only way to really show what the V has to offer in a straight line, unless you have a good chunk of money to throw at it which I won't. From the sounds of it the V would really shine on a road course and to me that would be more fun. Just my .02

If i didn't have my TA and I bought a Corvette it would be a stalled A4 as well. I have been planning on buying a vette for a while now. The reason it will be a FRC is because they look better than Targas IMO and are all 6 speeds, won't by a Zo6 because they don't have pewter (plus all the performance upgrades the Z has over a FRC will be irrelevant anyway). The reason I want a 6 speed is because it will be my cruiser/roll racer. Not because I like roll racing really but because I want something there for when someone runs their mouth about not being able to run from a dig, so I just go home and get my 600Rwhp 6 speed car instead of my 600Rwhp stalled A4 car.
No way in hell I would not have a stalled A4 and have an M6. Makes zero sense to me.
There is a difference in that. I am having a roll racing car on stock suspension because people don't have enough ***** to run real races. I know what counts... I just want to beat people at their game if they want it.

didnt try and make it like my car was sick or anything just wandering why u were so worried about breaking....

One day Id like to upgrade to some race axles and a new diff or even retro fit something else in there. But Ive got other priorities in life and realy dont have 5k to dish out it on a rear end .
Im also debating on just buying a f-body and making it into a toy/race rig.
Just keeping the cadi for the daily cruiser. But ill see what the future brings.

True that the updated version(4th version actually) is updated but i still wouldnt say itll do the job. I did get mine updated when i first bought it cause i said it was whining lol.

I am like Lemons
I have a low 10 sec stock looking fox body that is a monster from a stop. No tint,stock hood-has ac ps blah blah. No cage
I have a low 11 sec stock looking older Supra that traps high 120s on street tires for the morons that want to race on rolls
I am not sure what to classify my Camaro-its slow,,
