Best Rear Suspension For Road Racing

[mpozzi]

Mary, I'm not doubting your car but you are proving my point. The driver is the most important variable. You can make a leaf spring car handle great. It's spring rates and shocks. It's the street manners that are the biggest difference in a coil over set up. You and David have more experience than the field combined. Hell, it was my second road race, first 0-100-0(no drag race experience), and my 10th autocross, maybe. I'd love to see what you could of done in my car at El Toro. I ran 3rd in the road race and 1st in the baer speed stop challenge cheating with R888's. I can only imagine what you could do with my car.

Todd,

I watched your car and you did great!!!

My Camaro and I know each other pretty well and it's set up well for it's job. At speed, I can get the car positioned at the points where I need it to be at and know what it's going to do when it gets there. That's the predictable and confirmed part, and really affects overall compliance.

Agree as well with how nice a "linked" rear suspension works on the street as the CAT5's can jar my fillings out. It's a trade off but one I'll sacrifice for handling and my checkbook. Now if I ever built another car ... hmmm.

Note to self ... must play LOTTO!!

Cheers,
Mary Pozzi
