| Coilovers |
Subject: Coilovers by BillH on 2008/5/26 15:10:18 I got hired as an instructor/driver coach for a TEAM HPDE yesterday which meant I was in the same car for all 7 track sessions. This was the first time I had a chance to ride in a coilover car. The car was an '03 Z06 Pfadt coilovers with the single adjuster for both bump and rebound. Stock motor except for LG Long Tubes T1 sway bars Sparco seats with 5 point harness Hoosier slicks The coilovers were just impressive. The handling compaired to the C5/6's with stock springs was really better, flatter in the corners and generally had a much more predictable feel on the track. Just felt like a different car. I can only imagine what Gary's setup with the Penske 8700's would be like to drive. It was also one of the few times I've been in a racing seat with full harness as an instructor. Most times doing a full day in a C4,5,6 with stock belts, you feel a little beat up at the end of the day. At the end of the day, yesterday all I felt was pumped up. It didn't even bother me that I missed Indy. Great day. |
