XV Motorsports Level One Suspension Info

[GMachineDartGT]

Some of you have been following the introduction of our offerings...I am pleased to announce some of the data from the powers that be, concerning track testing of our level one suspension kits. On our 71 Cuda test car, they were able to achieve 1.03g in cornering, which is pretty impressive. Keep in mind, that car also had our stiffening kit, consisting of frame connectors, inner fender braces and a tubular rad support. It was also sporting some good rubber on billet wheels, not sure if they were 17s or 18s though.

The other good news, is that when the 71 Cuda mentioned above, compared lap times with our stock 70 TA Challenger that sports factory front and rear sway bars and 235/245 60 15 Radial TAs, the Cuda was 9 seconds ahead of the Challenger on a 1.33 mile course. Thats a pretty significant gain. Any questions, PM or call!

impressive!
I figured it would take a Level 2 just to get into the high, high .9x's or low 1.0x's.


I want a MOPAR so bad........

[GMachineDartGT]

This is level ONE! Level 2 is considerably more serious.

I presume you were running at least R rated rubber?

1.03g and the 9 seconds on a 1.33 mile course is very impressive.:twothumbs

BTW. Your Dart is one of my favorite body styles that Mopar had. Did this body style go from 69 to 72 or am I way off?

Any numbers for your level one in a B body?

[fast Ed]

Sounds like an impressive result. The model of tire used can make a huge impact on that ... 0.1g difference can be seen between the best max performance street rubber vs. a track type DOT tire such as the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup.

Of course the suspension has to be good enough to get the most out of any good tires, so it would seem that all the work in to the upgrades is doing the job.

Thanks guys - Shannon, the Dart "looked" the same from 67-76. Personally, I like th 70-71 the best.

We use BFG KDW tires, not even the stickiest out there and the results are good.

For B Body Level I, I don't have the numbers, but with the right rubber, it should better believe it or not. The b body has better weight distribution than the E.

You now have my attention! I have a 70 Super Bee which will be next on the chopping on the block so please keep us informed.
