    Remember how they would cause the rear of the car to jack up and rise when leaving the line? My, we have come a long way in understanding weight transfer since then.

    Its amazing when you think about how they were the new tech at one point. They still do their job but like you said Tony we came a long way to whats available now.


    I was going to put up a pic of my brothers firebird but you cannot see them too well so here is an example for all you younger guys ..you can see it stick out a little in front of the rear wheels.

    I probably am the only one with that color in CT, yeah. All the others at Terryville went out of state. Everything is good, just had our second boy few days ago so readjusting to having a baby again.

    Whereabouts did you see me?
