    Default Lowered the rear and lightened the front

    Took about 40 pounds off the front and lowered the rear about 1/2" in effort to create a less raked stance. FAIL

    What'd you change on the front end? Battery relocation?

    Your poll is missing the option "set it on fire."

    i think it looks good the way it is. you dont need to lower a camaro too much, but it dont need to sit like a truck (stock).

    I'm sorry, did you auto-x your Mach 1 with the wide wheels on the front? Did you race it with the modded motor?

    I like the look. I like the way it drives. I saved weight.

    if you already scrape and say you wont go any lower, why would you ask?

    P.S. I dont see how the hell you're scraping... my coupes frame was 2 inches off the ground and I did just fine.

    You didn't understand what I said, apparently. I didn't say I auto-x'd. You asked why I rode around in a stock LT1 with skinnies, implying I don't drag race... meaning I have them for no reason (drag race = reason for skinnies). I asked if you if you auto-x'd because you had wide wheels on the front (auto-x/handling = reason for wide front wheels). Then I also brought up your motor because usually people race when they mod their motor.

    Sorry that was too deep for you.

    I don't know, I can't fit my floor jack under the front and the "aluminum race" jack barely fits. It's a lot lower than it looks.

    The options are raise the front or lower the back. The front scrapes, not the back. The third option is to lower it all, if I did so, it'd be very minute.

    Let me help you since your to stupid to understand the way you asked something...

    1. I am asking why a stock LT1 car has skinnies in the front, and you ask me did I auto-x! Therefore implying that, I did not, so therefore thats why I dont understand you having skinnies in the front. Which are meant more for cars running 11 flat into the 10's! Or for all out drag cars. Neither of which are yours.

    2. Again I ask about tires you ask about racing a modded motor? Again I did some spirited driving, but unlike you I have a job and very very rarely had the chance to go to the track. Also my car was not capable of running extremely fast times or totting the front end, therefore I had zero use for skinnies in the front.

    Now onto this two digit IQ responce!

    1. My god did not know now that 13.3 qualified for needing skinnies and street tire combos! Thats some John Force shit right there!

    2. When did 17x8 become a "wide wheel"? Hell thats stock size, must mean all factory cars rim sizes are made for the intentions of auto-x'ing!

    2a. If wide tires are meant for handling and skinnies are meant for drag racing, you most be very dangerous driving around on the streets if your car lacks alot of handling from the lack of tire/rim size in the front.

    3. Refer to 2 at the top!

    My regular floor jack is pretty low, especially with the top taken off... and it doesn't have to go far under it. But like I said, the low profile "race" jack barely fits.

    I use a 4x4

    That's a good lookin Camaro. I always loved the f-bodies.

    I'd leave it as is. But for the sake of the poll I voted 'lower both.'

    Mine's the red one.

    I say the car looks great as is. I would focus on truly putting some power down with that LT1, I believe that would be a IA first.

    fast intake, vindicator head/cam set up, tune and a 100 shot and he would run good enough to actually need those skinnies!

    Like you can muster anything else besides a single digit IQ response.

    1. My god did not know now that 13.3 qualified for needing skinnies and street tire combos! Thats some John Force shit right there!
    Lighter = faster. All out racing would be Weld Racing Pro-Stars with MT tires all around. You obviously don't know too much about drag racing if you think my Khumo and Cooper wrapped Summit rims are FUH RACE.

    2. When did 17x8 become a "wide wheel"? Hell thats stock size, must mean all factory cars rim sizes are made for the intentions of auto-x'ing!
    I thought I remembered your car having 17x9s on the front and 10.5's on the rear.

    2a. If wide tires are meant for handling and skinnies are meant for drag racing, you most be very dangerous driving around on the streets if your car lacks alot of handling from the lack of tire/rim size in the front.
    I take turns that my car can handle. I don't tail gate. I don't drive like the average mustang driving jackass. My car isn't a complete pig, it will get out of it's way if it has to, but why drive to where I have to push it? I understand there are things I can't control, but MOST stuff you can prevent or avoid.

    Not hard...

    How do you use a wheel for drag racing? Again you dont tote or run any serious time to need them.

    I have skinnies because it drives better and it lightened my car by a few pounds. I'm trying to get as fast as I can, less weight = faster.
    Wow less weight = faster? Man I am so glad you said that because I had no idea that you probably saved 30-40lbs which maybe shaved off .03-.04 secs off your time! Man that must have been fluz capacitor time! If you would have just rounded your time up or down at the tenth's of a second you could have saved yourself some money!

    I was comparing how we used our mods. It's not a hard concept to pick up on.
    You compare in ways of a child with down syndrome...hince why must people cant pick up on what you say!

    Again, skinnies = lighter and drives better.
    Modifications 099 Lighter = faster, not driving better...

    Like you can muster anything else besides a single digit IQ response.
    Oh wow great come back...hadnt read something that good, since my post about 10 minutes ago! Bravo goldfish!

    Lighter = faster. All out racing would be Weld Racing Pro-Stars with MT tires all around. You obviously don't know too much about drag racing if you think my Khumo and Cooper wrapped Summit rims are FUH RACE.
    So you have rims meant for ET streets with crappy cheap tires wrapped around them...therefore defeating the point of needing to save weight with tires that arent meant for traction?

    I thought I remembered your car having 17x9s on the front and 10.5's on the rear.
    Would have been a typo then...not like I have never made one of those. 17x8 front; 17x10.5 rear.

    I take turns that my car can handle. I don't tail gate. I don't drive like the average mustang driving jackass. My car isn't a complete pig, it will get out of it's way if it has to, but why drive to where I have to push it? I understand there are things I can't control, but MOST stuff you can prevent or avoid.
    You do know with having such a small tire in the front means your loosing a good bit of streering capabilities?

    Who gives a fuck if he runs skinnies?!

    If he likes how they look then who gives a shit?

    You wanna hate on me for having a bunch of purple suspension goodies that I don't need because I dont race?

    Its his car, get the hell over it.

    Having suspension parts for a car is normal, even for street cars!

    Hey he started it I just asked him why he had skinnies...he decided to draw it out!
