You know nothing about drag suspension... its called separation.


Do you know why 1200hp supras run 12's? 19" wheels and stanced coilovers. Pointless...

Why do the whole drag suspension setup if you're just going to run radials? At that point you might as well just have slicks.
/e Radials would intend that you plan on driving the car on the street, and at the point, ride height should at least be lowered a little bit. I'm not talking full out hellaflush with negative camber. Just functionally lower.

You have got to be kidding me. Just stop. Continue going to your hellaflush mahatma cook offs.

Separation in a properly set up suspension is anti squat. The rear end lifts UP as the car launches. The rear has to be right around stock height to clear a 28" tire. Maybe 1" lower.

Yes its going to be a street car. If i was building a drag car it wouldn't be a 4th gen fbody. Attempting to hook 1000whp+ on the street forces you to forgo form for function. Deal with it. I have a lowered trans am too. It will look good in the parking lot. The formula is a completely different animal. It will never look low in the back because of the bumper.

Lowered suspension usually translates to worse weight transfer. Again, 1200whp supras running 12s. I'm not building a 80 roll highway car.

?

yeah, an 8 second street car. Such a ricer...it's actually the opposite. It's a street car with compromises made to actually run the number at the track. You do know the x275 class guys are going deep 7's on 275 radials right?

Its not even going to be driveable on an every day basis. Which means you'll get to use it like 10-20% of the time.

Cool.



Ricer.
