Message	That's why we see that saying use'd everywhere about those with Z cars. There not drag cars do to it's Squat set up suspension. If that kinda transfer where true, real race cars would not use wheelie bars. The transfer comes back and needs a good solid foundation to propel the car into a forceful forward monition. The energy would be greatly lost if absorbed in a soft cushion suspension. STAGE V++++ Going to XV+ and beyond :) Yellow Z STAGE II Going to XI+
