I understand the difference to be:

on a normal 2 way adjustable KW coil-over, you have rebound and compression

When you dial up compression to hard you get the firmness which makes the cornering and reduction in over steer but you sacrifice grip on small bumps on the road or track surface (hi speed)

By being able to wind up low speed setting you get benefits without sacrifice as above. Now you dial back the high speed and retain the grip that would normally be sacrificed. Bit like having your cake and eating it

 

I love this project! Thanks for all the updates guys!

 

"The Colonel" has been completed for some time and we wanted to share some updated pics.

Here are some teaser updated pics of "The Colonel" with more to come..

 

Thats one good looking car! Thanks for sharing!

 

Would have it been better to just buy a cup car?

 

Good question, but this one is street legal. Pretty radical for a street legal car ain't it?

 

Very radical, how much does she way weigh

 

If I had a dollar for every dollar I have or if I had a dollar for every time I have been asked this question, I would have a shop full of Cup Cars.


Short answer, no.

Buying the Cup Car is easy, campaigning one is another story. Big bucks. Plus I would never be happy club racing a Cup Car, I would want to pro race it. I done have the kind of money I would need to run an "up front" Cup Car program. That being said I would just get bummed being a back marker because of lack of financing. People expect race cars to race fast and win. Turning a street car into a race car and tuning it into a winner is more of a challenge IMO. Turning a street car into a race car is half the fun.

Plus you can't drive a Cup Car down to the Sonic for a soda either. Plus I can always turn it back into a stock street car if need be.

It's about 2950 ish with a half tank of fuel and without my tall fat ass.

Come on Chuck, get rid of your Cup Car and strip out that 4.0 and let's go race.
