    LT4 My Stock Lt4 Topped Out At 191mph

    Great article Ken! Although I would love to test the 200 mph range, I don't have the resources for this and I don't want to heavily modify the Grand Sport. I have a lot of fun in the autocross field and this Silver State open road racing was just on my list of things to do. Having had the...

    LT4 My Stock Lt4 Topped Out At 191mph

    Hi Ken... According to Sam, the left rear suspension came apart and caused the rear to swing to the left. Steering to correct did not work. He says that "During the course of the wreck, the entire left rear wheel assembly was separated from the rest of the car." He also stated that there was...

    LT4 My Stock Lt4 Topped Out At 191mph

    Hey Jason! Yeah, Brooks did take me for a ride! Actually it really was like a Sunday drive only a whole lot faster. I'm hooked now... and already planning for next year. It sure would be neat to have a few Grand Sports in the line-up. I had a better feeling about this speed after I saw a pic...

    New Gears?

    Not to do an undercut on someone's sales, but gotta add my .02 4.10's are available from 'Al Kindler' USAZR1@aol.com and he has supplied most of the conversions done on the ZR-1's. I know that Hutch and a number of the Grandsport crowd in Fla have gone this route as well and a quite pleased...

    Opportunity to swap 3.45's for 4.27's

    Ok... topic says it all..... wondering what the pros and cons are. I autocross and thought maybe my 2nd gear might take over for 1 st gear or at least I would have the added grunt on exit in 1st. Anyone have any comments? Negative or Positive is appreciated! TIA Terry GS60

    Upgrade the FE1 (soft ride) suspension?

    Thanks guys.. Wish I had the Z51 now...... but I guess I'll go with supernatural400's suggestion. Would lowering the rear end be beneficial or is this mainly a cosmetic approach? Terry GS60

    Upgrade the FE1 (soft ride) suspension?

    Wondering if anyone has upgraded the Grand Sport FE1 suspension to the FE3 (sport suspension) or just substituted the heavier bars... Would like a little stiffer suspension in the rear for Autocross! Thanks TerryGS
