Don't hold your breath.
Don't expect GM to do anything and you probably won't be disappointed.
Our cars are obsolete.
Get used to it.

Hey Tony,
Can the 09 shocks be adapted (ie. bolt on?)
Gonna need a computer just to talk to um.
Never mind.....

For the hardcores sounds great.
Changes the rear to a five bolt so you can put some interesting size rims and tires.
And FACTORY PARTS :cloud9:
A year early?
Sounds like plenty of time to look at shocks, sways, and other things to make it work.
that will be one hell of a group buy! :histeric:

It won't go away in a independant rear suspension with that much torque.
The attributes contribute to the problem.
If you want to improve it to the point where it goes away, you will almost certainly have to use a straight axel and stiff suspension and no limited slip.
In other words a straight line car.
On the other hand, Kars said his system virtually eliminated the hop.

Also, the more HP you add to the equation the more likely it's gonna happen.
Those magnetic shocks are looking good right now.........:suspense:
Let's see...
Pick up the G force from the computer and any other info, add an accelerometer, strain guages, and get some software and hardware together.
I would guess about $25k might cover it (less the shocks).
Those magnetic shocks ain't looking so good :thehand:
I need a beer...........:thumbsup:

Hey guys, if your serious you should be talking to someone about a gas tank.
It has already been pointed out that it will need to go.

Should be "subscribed and supporting member".
I look at the replacement gas tank as an opportunity to:
1. Hold more fuel.
2. Access and replacement of the fuel pump (something bigger or stronger for maggie guys)
Bang for the buck, this mod sounds like it will address the major complaint and with "factory parts".
Relatively cheap.

If you peruse back a few pages, I think it was hovering between $5k-6k but they are still working on the parts list.
I don't expect it to run much more then a maggie (installed).
What I expect to add up is changing the front hubs to a five bolt to match (if we end up having to) and if that is the case, rims and different tires.
The magnetic suspension would be a neat trick to (I wish). I bet that has a lot to do with the elimination of wheel hop. Just "lock it up" and ride the throttle.

Thanks Tony.
Well if I might suggest, a case for the 09 diff could be bought then someone could work on what it is gonna take to either get that bad boy to fit or if the whole carrier is gonna need to go.
I can see one hurdle is getting it (or for that matter any other diff) to fit without having to reroute the exhaust.
Also, I think it is going to end up being too expensive, but I hope I am wrong.

As the prospect of any major mod like this is fast approaching over 20% of the value of the car (like a maggie), the market is shrinking.
I wish mods were tax deductible........

If I had that kind of opportunity, I would be doing R&D on a V2. :thumbsup:
It is of little or no use to stroll down memory lane as to what was said or recommended in regards to NUTZ's endeavor (which is to be applauded) IMHO
The elimination of a lot of wheel hop can be achieved by getting rid of every rubber suspension part. Cradle bushings ect...
My "holy Grail" for this week is a cradle that will accommodate a Holden 12 bolt.
