I dont have the link handy, but his camaro5 name is gretchengotgrowl

Yea, I've been watching that and talking with Gretchen about his. Like I said, price/ value gets my dollars. Besides, Gretchen has T3s which are not the best for road course work I'm thinkin.

Thanks M8! I'm in West Palm. Find your way down to Homestead this weekend and, hopefully, I'll be running it.

How many times do I have to say it? It's "race" not "rice"!

Along with the coilovers, do you have any other suspension components such as rear end links, trailing arms, etc? Also, think you'll throw the vert strut bar up front?

This is a cool build - I would like to see it in person one day. Congrats on COTW

Coilovers and aggressive alignment ATM. Solution "B" sway kit from Pedders is on the list and bushings after that. The car is still in development. One mod at a time so I may evaluate it properly.

I've done a bit of testing at Sebring for the aero and, corner speeds, even with the stock tires, was very good! As you know, Sebring is a fairly rough track and the Pedders COs did a great job! I never had any "moments" the whole day (albeit at my limited pace).

Now this.... is "rice"...

GreenMonster · 02-22-2011, 10:44 PM

congrats on the cotw.. go v6 go

SIXJAK · 02-22-2011, 11:07 PM

Pay no mind to the the rice-aphobes. Your car is a very smart build. I love the "race" on the back. It speaks to what your car is built for and the other mods back it up. Congrats on COTW!

Bonemaro · 02-23-2011, 08:38 AM

Nice work, and congrats on COTW you deserve it !

I admire Beauwulf, I wish i had the time and money to be racing all the time =D

Beauwulf, do you have a link or thread that shows all of your suspension mods? I would like to take a look and see what your setup is like =p I was hoping for Pedders Xa coils and their swaybar kit soon. =D

Most people don't realize that the current V6 will spank many cars within its class. And on a road course or HDPE event the most powerful cars don't always win. It has to be a balance. As a V8 owner I am a big fan of the OP's car and props to him for actually run his car and not his mouth

Thank you (and everyone else) for the kind comments! I really can't wait to try it out! I'm first on the waiting list for the Chin Motorsports HPDE at Homestead this weekend.

When I do get it on the track, I will have plenty of video you guys!

GOOD LUCK........Keep the rubber side firmly planted on the track and drive the hell out of her and make us V6 guys proud.

Looking forward to the video.

Thanks
