Why Lower When You Can Raise? - Page 2

I imagine that it was a great experience of driving your SS1LE at Nurburgring.

One of the best handling American sport cars.

Please share us your experience there and on the autobahn, post more videos and lap times as you improve your driving.

Bosse'sBoss: It is good fun! I do try to keep my 'Member Journal' updated...latest shot of a lowered car:

1.4 g's off the PDR.

Just being a bit curious, Tim, have you tried taking off that [butt ugly] front license plate for the track? It seems to be blocking a good part of the radiator and now the intercooler.

arpad_m: I'd love to, but the events I've been attending are all street legal events - may not get thru the gate on track without it. It is not ideal...

I'd love to drive the 'ring one day

My turn for a Flugplatz shot!!!

FNxR3DNECK: I see only 2 tires airborne...you can do better than that! Or are the front dive planes working their magic???

Great shot either way...

To be fair there was another shot with all four off the ground but the lighting was bad haha and the dive planes definitely work, feels a bit more planted in the fast sweeping corners.

That is a lot of front suspension travel!

Is that an SS 1LE with a front fascia or some Euro model with hybrid bodywork?
