Lowered the rear and lightened the front

[Catnip]

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

[Drummerboy]

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

[DieselNuts]

looks good. less rake, but still apparent. where did the 40lbs come from?

[-EnVus-]

need to fix the crack bumper lense
what motor is in it ?

[DieselNuts]

5.7 LT1

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

I actually missed the "go fuck yourself" option.

LOL

[cpearson]

Looks good.

[toxxxic]

[Catnip]

Not. lol. I already scrape bad on the smaller speedbumps.

then what was the purpose of this thread?

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.

That's what I'm saying..I'm About 2in off the ground also

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.

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).

[MachNU]

i still dont understand why someone with a stock lt1 camaro rides around with skinnies on the front?

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.

buhahahahahahaahahhahahah I had 17x8's on the front. your telling me you auto-x your car with 16x5's or what ever size skinny that is on the front? you must not do to good! also unless your car is capable of toting the front tires then you dont need them!

[Catnip]

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.

[MachNU]

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

1. I'm sorry, did you auto-x your Mach 1 with the wide wheels on the front? 2. Did you race it with the modded motor?

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

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!

You didn't understand what I said, apparently. I didn't say I auto-x'd. 1 . 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). 2. 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). 3. Then I also brought up your motor because usually people race when they mod their motor.

Sorry that was too deep for you.

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!

trade for hatch?

[Dirty Octopus™]

damn. i wish i like these cars so i can understand what the fuck i'm lookin' at here

[GetFRESH!]

Haha. I feel ya Kash.

[qwick]

looks good to me.

[WFOdime]

Thats one bitchin camaro

[40th GT]

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.'

[toxxxic]

4x4 ? how do you drive onto a 4x4 ???

[Bigt8aford]

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.

[MachNU]

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

I really doubt that...

[toxxxic]

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.

[Repiks]

I'd much rather run a wider front tire and be stable on turns instead of shaving a tenth or two off your et.

So whats done to the lightning?

[Repiks]

Average bolt ons.

[Christopherr]

For the look, I'd say lower the rear...hope you have some relocation brackets to help settle that rear end when you launch. And those Kumho Powerstar 758s won't hold up very well if you start pulling higher trap speeds.

Other than that...keep it clean. Not many LT1s out there anymore...

[Repiks]

The less weight on the front along with skinny tires will cause a horrible handing effect, and also cause the front to wander.

And yes, we did it to the same car. Went from slicks and skinnys, to 20 by 9s, then went to the 17s on it now. Much better.
