    It looks like the rear tires are going to leave the ground on the 1-2 shift.

    ^^^ yeah, talk about poor suspension. Looks like all the money went under the hood. You could shave off another tenth of a second or so with the correct setup. Badass either way. Reminds me of some off the wall swaps and builds and Forza.

    ^^ agreed. i bet you'd gain 5/10 of a second with better suspension and bigger shoes to bite down on the ground

    That car hooks very well for making that kind of power. No need to add more rotational weight. Stiffer suspension usually means more wheel spin. I'll bet that they've done plenty of suspension testing with that car. You don't run low 9's with junk suspension

    ^ I agree with him, you don't just decide to go cheap on the suspension when you're running 160mph in the 1/4. While they were under there doing the AWD swap I'm sure they considered the loads a car like that would experience and tuned the suspension accordingly.
