We've been talking about suspension a lot lately and as of last week; I'm even more hooked.


Nitto Tires

We've recently secured a deal with the El Toro Marine base facility and have full access to their airstrip for serious testing. That's right, we can now do the 420-foot slalom, 60 to 0 braking, skidpad, and the quarter-mile!

Last week, we took out our latest project and had so much fun that it seemed downright criminal.

The baseline numbers were better than anything I ever expected, but then again, it is a Z06. 

The good thing is, we now have solid numbers to compare with and more importantly, numbers to strive for.

We'll be back at it within the next few weeks to evaluate the Nitto NT05's. Suffice to say, I'm expecting to improve upon the numbers we've already produced!
