In the GRAND-AM CTSCC series there are only 2 options for competitors to use for shocks, Koni and AST. All of the Mitchum cars run the AST shocks, however springs are unrestricted and can be changed to any height and/or rate. Through testing the two different branded shocks are almost identical in speed but driver tuning was preferred on the AST shocks.
The Camaro's that compete in the GS class have to weigh 3300lbs after the race, this means no fuel and no driver weight added. With a fuel capacity of over 18 gallons and a driver that weighs roughly 170lbs, the cars can easily reach 3600lbs when racing.
