Absolutely Fantastic! Will you be using the offset front upper control arms?:bouncy:

Are they going to be using a jig for the fabrication of the full cage - i.e., is it going to be something they can reproduce for other Vs or is it going to be just a custom job?


Interested. Can you elaborate?

GM Racing modified the front upper control arms by moving Two bolts (pivot pts) 5 or 6mm closer to the chasis producing at least 2.5 negative camber. When combined with thier custom sway bars, FG2 shocks, and R compound tires the fun meter starts to rise on the road course.

Its actually integrated into the cage, you can kind of see it in the 4th picture.
The pictures were taken by the shop at certain angles on purpose, to not give away too much info...
Plus my original brace will still bolt in on top if needed.

Looks good, another great project! Will the rules allow you to run that pad in picture #4 up and over the top of the shock mount, fill in with a continuos gusset and count as one attaching point?:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I used to run Delrin bushings in my SHO...

Yeah, but did you have a quick disconnect steering wheel?

Oh baby, you did It right. Angelo is the man!:dance::cool2::2thumbs::gungrin::dance:

Correct that is headers, no cats, and magnaflow. ST2 is pretty open. If my math is correct I have some room for improvement. The horsepower to weight ratio is 8.7. The way I added the adjusments it puts me over a little bit which means I can add horsepower, take off weight, or both. My plan was to go as light as I can make it and then add horsepower to get as close to 8.7 as possible. Heads and Cam are definitely in the cards and if I play it right down the road a dog ring box can make it in

For 2013 nasa is changing ST2 to 8.0 and dropping PTA/TTA for a new ST3 class with 9.0 and 9.5 for aero cars.

Yep lucky for me, the car is still loaded on the trailer...
ST2 is going to get faster. But actually if I read and did the math correct, I'm right at ST3 now without touching anything. May open another door for me, gonna wait and see what takes place

Agree, should be some nice car counts in ST3. I still have the CCW wheels if you need more tire.
