Message	Yeah. I've watched several 9,10,11 second Supras leave at 6000rpm with no wheelhop. They also drag their 4" exhaust halfway down the track due to squat. I've also watched 7liter C5s do the same. One of the techs watched the rear arms of a Z as it was launched hard (was lying on the ground behind it apparently). His description "that piece of shit looks like a goddamned seagull" He said the lower rear arms were visibly flexing and everything in the subframe deflected in odd directions. I'm considering having my control arms boxed in just to see how it helps. I don't have any intentions for my Z32 that would press me towards our tubular control arms, but it would be interesting to see if a few minutes of welding/cutting would help. AIM = SPLParts INCREASE SPEED.....DROP DOWN....AND REVERSE DIRECTION!!!!!!
