      Chevelle suspension test

      Call this shameless self promotion, but Steve Rupp, Mary Pozzi, and Jim Campisano wrote us a really nice article in the April issue of Super Chevy. http://www.ridetech.com/more/wp-cont...er-article.pdf

      This is the latest in a series of articles that covers the Super Chevy suspension shootout that we participated in last August in El Toro California. They have been covering a couple of the participants every month.
      We had an absolute BLAST driving the car to Bonneville and then on to El Toro for the shootout. I was very proud of how the car performed, especially since we had nearly no testing time with the spec tires we had to run.
      Right now the car is on its way to the Costa Mesa Goodguys event Mar. 14-15. Hope to see some of you there!

      Bret,
      Will the orange Camaro be at Costa Mesa?

      Thanks for the link. Why do you run a varishock on the rear of the chevelle? I thought a shockwave would be more ideal.

      Velocity will not be in Costa Mesa...we just got the engine back from Mitchell a couple of days ago.

      We run a Varishock on the rear because the shockwave is not a good fit...yet. We may remedy that yet this spring.
