Default 70 Firebird caught smoking BMWs

A shout out for our customer John who shared some pics of his smooth 70 FBird shaking it down in VA at the Tire Rack Ultimate Track Challenge. John has been very positive about the car's capabilities with our GT suspension system under it. This isn't anything over the top like replacing complete subframes, but rather it's all bolt on parts for a factory subframe with coilovers up front and our Torque Arm out back, yet the car handles incredibly well. John said he's in for the SEMA time Optima Challenge in Vegas and will be at Optima and other events throughout the season. Have a look for it and maybe even catch a ride along. Beautiful car John!

As my drill instructor used to say "that's neater than cat **** rolled in sand" which apparently is a good thing because back then our job was to STFU :-)

I think those pics were taken at VIR during the HyperFest weekend. I was on track with a different run group that weekend but I watched that car on track and was impressed with how well it performed.
