It would be nice to actually put down some power at the drag strip, but I only go occasionally and just for grins. My real concern would be if the KARSIII kit changed the CTS-V's handling performance. It is a wonderful handling vehicle and I'd hate to stiffen the rear end and turn it into a tailhappy, oversteering monster. Is there anyone who does AutoX or track days that has a KARSIII and likes it? Any feedback at all to how it changes (or doesn't change) the cars handling on the road? Thanks! |

Thanks! | If anything it just makes it more predictable, due to less deflection from the rubber bushing and keeps the cradle more solidly fastened. It's not gonna over steer any more or less than what it already did. |

Come on guys, this is America. Competition is one of the great things about this country. It challenges men to build the tallest building, the fastest car or in this case the best (assumingly so don't have so don't know for sure) rear end fix that GM FU%^ed us on. The way I see it there isn't all that much support for our vehicles and anyone willing to take a chance, especially if the guy doing it before went belly up trying, should at least not be threatened with legal action and at best congratulated for his entrepreneurial spirit. But I'm just some guy on the internet so take it for what its worth.  |

My company sponsors a guy that races a V and he welded his diff solid to eliminate wheel hop. Multiple parts have been changed along with running certain tire pressures, which also helped. We have 1000# front springs in the car too, to help put more power to the rear tires. Anyone know Bobby Fisher? He's making a ton of noise on the field. |
