VIDEO SHOWS A MAJOR STOCK SUSPENSIONS FLAW
DRAGVETTE 6-LINK CORRECTS FLAW
Michael's comments
The Severe Camber change causing failure of the C-Clip inside the diff, shearing the splines at 1:22 and at 1:42
At the NJ BMW Autocross
For people in the Forums, the Average G load on the turns was 1.02G while peaking at 1.05G, the overall run G's were at 0.96G
-Measured using a G-TechPro RR
Steve's observations
The initial acceleration demonstrates the Corvette's stock suspension flaw . The suspension added so much negative camber during the hard acceleration it resulted in loss of valuable traction and lap time. The suspension added so much negative camber it tilted the tire over so far that Michael lost most of his traction. Look at the initial start and the black marks on the pavement. A tenth of a second can make the difference between you and the next place up. The Dragvette 6-link will hold the tire in full contact with the pavement with a zero camber setting. This is ideal for a drag racer.
However, Michael is an autocross enthusiast and the initial acceleration is only a minor part of his performance. His major objective is to maintain proper camber control during the run. The top strut bar of the Dragvette 6-link will absolutely control the camber on the course. An auto crosser's lap time will benefit with the perfect camber setting on his suspension. Road racers and auto cross drivers have used the Dragvette 6-Link with great success by setting the negative camber at one fixed setting. Lets say for example 1 1/2 degrees. Drivers have reduced their lap time as much as 2 seconds per lap. This is huge, as these drivers have modified their cars heavily to get their lap times down. Any reduction on their lap times puts them in front of the competition. Our driver Mandy in California, shared his experience using the Racevette 6-link. He has made some valuable suggestions. Read about Mandy's success under ROAD RACER 6-LINK CA The goal of the Racevette 6-link is to be able to control the amount of camber added during the suspension travel and the rate, or how fast the camber is added. Faster for tighter turns would be an example; just like an adjustable driver for golf. The Racevette 6-link will be fully adjustable so you can find that perfect setting for your Corvette on each particular track.
