Also front to rear weight transfer is dare I say violent. and the only way to fix that really is with shocks. I do have 33k miles on my car but the stock shocks almost feel blown out when I'm driving with big sways and sticky tires. stock sways and all seasons everything feels fine.

Why not just make a v6 1LE clone it would be a very solid track car. just check out C&D's lightening lap historic data. its faster than ALOT of very well known cars.

If you can do suspension work yourself you could piece together a 1LE clone for very little money.

Man I like where you took this! a 1LE clone. So now for the parts. Is this all it is:

Do you have another idea for piecing it together other than buying it outright?


Are these the stock brembos on SS's (4 piston) that will get me alot more breaking power: https://wildhammermotorsports.com/ca...t-performance/

This is an idea build:

Haven't figured a shock for this build yet.

I appreciate all your input!
