Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Plastidipped the roof about a week ago, i'm liking it a lot thus far!

and i just got another idea for more plastidip action....oh boy.







and then i looked down, sadden that there aren't the correct amount of pedals under my feet :th_depressed:
 


So after this past week, I have finally determined what direction I would like to take my car, and focus on handling.
i know is a joke in these cars, but i'm going to try my best to see what i can get out of this platform.
I driven a moderately moddified GP before and know that power (considering where i live) isn't the problem...
so with a 3.4setup and rockers i think i'll be good on power. and i won't blow my motor up! yay!

Now, over the nearly 3years of being on here, i haven't seen too many people focus their cars in this direction, but if anyone knows anything, or knows of someone who has decent knowledge of what parts work best with what, please don't hesitate to let me know..

so to be honest i hate the GR2's i have in the back, i'm going to try putting ExcelG's in the back when the gr2's go.
followed up with GMPP trailing arms to start. (or maybe adjustables?)
but as far as a rear swaybar, should i go GMPP out back as well, or should i go ADCO?
or ADCO for both?

and as far as ZZP lower A-arms, where would be benefits from them?

i'm going to ditching the bullits soon (keeping them for shows/meets etc.) but i would love a lighter wheel, and so would my rack and pinion LOL.
i feel their weight too much in corners and it helps my rear end stay planted, but my front end just doesnt seem right..

and at the rate i kill tires and brakes... aka i go through a set of front tires/brakes in about 8months or so. not from burnouts. but from corners.

i have Sumitomo HTR a/s's all around i'm thinking of going a little bit stickier of a tire, or should i continue to run them?






i know thats a lot of questions, but i figured it be easier to ask them all at once then individually lol

are you still on your stock brake setup? f body upgrade?
and maybe pre gens for wheels if you want light.
 


i thinking pregens but a thinner tire ='s better cornering.

although 16's ride soooooooo nice.


and yes Fbodies up front, new calipers, with SSlines all around.
and Ebay ceramic pads w/crosseddrilled/slotted rotors (only because i was broke and i needed brakes)




and for the first time since spring '11. racekarr mode is reactivated.
this should get interesting.

Also, as far as weight savings... it would be easiest to take weight from the rear than it would the front, but what can be relocated/taken off to take weight off the nose and more evenly distribute it throughout the car.


like i said i know W-bodies arent exactly designed for handling.
but hell, we can get these cars to run 8's in the 1/4 and figure out the specifics of making CTSV brakes work.
i'm sure we can figure out how to make this platform out handle vettes.
 
the battery is the only thing i can think of off the top of my head.
also an aluminum subframe maybe?
racing seats?

RWD SWAP!? lol
