The relocated rear control arms may to a certain extent unless you change them back to the original position after racing.

I ran those on my 06gt and I couldn't tell any difference on handling for street driving. I'm sure racing around curves would be affected some but that's pushing the suspension harder then most people will on a normal basis just like lowering the car will affect drag times. However I'm not so sure they are even running relocation brackets, unless I missed it.

Unless the control arms have rod end bushings (and even then the ride's not horrible) nothing they've done to the rear suspension is "track only". I have BMR lca's, uca, panhard bar, kmember and aarms on my car and it rides just fine.

The only Race Part on the car is the Bogart Racing Wheels with DOT Tires!

Everything else is 100% Street!

No, they have it, look at his sig:

First 2007-2011 Shelby GT500 In The 11's, 10's, 9's, 8's, and 7's!

Their 2011 GT500 is already in the 7's. Evo is never full of ****.

We will get all the tuning done for all the different packages and the end result will be a 3.6LC Kenne Bell!

There are a few internal changes in the rod/piston package.

It was just a smart *** comment on my part about how much boost that blower should be capable of.

They might want to change the way that's worded.

i would like the to see you guys bolt the stock wheels back up and do your best down the 1/4 with this set-up minus the Bogarts and tires

it's great to see what you guys can do with the car and what the fringe of it's potential is but... i'm going to more than likely be involved in more "street" scenarios than at the track

i'd like to know that if a C6 vette sidles up next to me at a light and i'm a decent driver, will the mods you've done to the car minus the street slicks and skinnies cover the check my actions will write?
