I'm trying to build one of the best handling f-bodies around. I'd love to pull 1G or slightly above on a skidpad. How can I get there?

 

here is a thread that is from the past few days, and a guy says with hotchkis rear suspension you can pull about 1 g.

I'm sure with some other mods, like a torque arm you could do it.

"Close to a G". That's kinda general, lol. I'm better with numbers.

 

I have a Hot Rod article in which **** Guldstrand mods an '89 RS to run 1G on a skidpad. It's a pretty cool article. Let me know if anyone wants it.

you can email that to me.

 

I got my G-tech a few days ago and with my current setup I can hold a constant .86 G's.

It'll peak at .92 just as the rear end starts to slide out.

Keep in mind I have generic tires, and worn out stock springs & shocks. I think 1 G will be easy. I still have BFG comp TA's that I haven't put on yet.

I think I have a little better weight distribution than most Camaro's though because of the V-6, and battery re-location.

1g was done back in 1983-1984 in the Gale Banks 200 mph twin turbo car. I think it was with Herb Adams parts.

Well, it isn't a thirdgen, but one of the Minnesota F-body Club members has a 96 Firehawk Convertible that is worked over quite a bit and he pulled 1.07 G on the skidpad!! He is a big roadracer guy and road trips his car to lots of Road courses around the nation...... Check out the MNFbody.com site - his car is the featured ride right now.........

1.0 is easy in a street car. It can be done with off the shelf parts and good street tires. Throw some Hoosier's shaved to 3/32 into the mix, you should see upward of 1.05 maybe 1.1 in a good car with a full cage.
