I don't know that anyone "mopped the floor" with anyone.. all the cars did pretty good.

Same here.. some cars were built as just nice street cars, some came with their suspensions set to max. Some were wonderful to drive on the street.. some killed the autocross. Few did both.
If a car with an LS engine runs a faster time than a car with a big block does that mean the suspension on the LS car is better?
This is why we don't compare the cars to each other but rather to a baseline car, in this case a 2010 SS from Anvil Auto."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

That really impresses me about Super Chevy.
I haven't had a subscription to their mag in about 4 years.
I may have to get a new subscription.

DSE is doing a fairly new line of A-body suspension and that is what Kyle was showing off. Most all the cars out there made a good showing, and Mary the lucky lady got to run the wheels off all of them. Originally Posted by skeeters65
