    What is this new "rear steer assist" CJ is talking about for his cars?

      Probably a hydraulic ram mounted to the chassis side of the RR lower bar. It connects to the steering and changes rear steer as you turn the wheel. At least that's how he did it about 15 years ago?

        Orange cars are built stronger in the rear or more rigid i guess is a better word. Totally different design in the rear as far as the way its fabbed. We have had all three. No complaints with the orange but no complaints with the blue/gray deal either. And I believe Mark bush deaigned the blue/gray front. At least thats what he let on at when i was at his racewise class.

          Revising a couple things over the last 10 years like longer steering arms on the grey spindle or spacing the RF out 1" isn't designing a front end IMO... But I've seen people take more credit for doing less... Lol

                    Without CJ we'd be trying to find 55 rear frame's to weld on camaro front clips.

                        Tom Pistone is still a hoot. His front clips were still pretty good a few years ago in LMSC when they first when to the high travel stuff
