The SPEED channel special on the Optima Ultimate Streetcar Invitational (Saturday, January 30th at 11:00AM and Sunday, January 31st, at 4:00PM eastern time) is a great program. As you may know we are a sponsor and attendee of the invitational last November.

We brought out 1968 “Velocity” Camaro as well as our tried, true & blue 1966 Chevelle. You can find out more about these rides in our garage:

Nation of Go

We were treated to a visit with some pretty cool “internet geeks” last week (and we mean geek in the best possible way). These guys are some hard core website developers that also happen to be gearheads. They have developed some very cool technology and are on the road spreading the word.

A little rain didn’t stop us from putting on a show for their cameras. They captured some pretty cool video while they were here.

BFGoodrich is behind the project, and what they have started has some huge potential. Imagine a web site where you can share photos of your ride, and your favorite places to drive. OK, we know, there are already web sites out there for that… but now imagine that you can download an app to your phone that automatically tracks your drive and places your photos on an interactive google earth style map… now you might be getting the picture of what these guys are about.

Suspension Shootout Results

The Super Chevy Suspension Shootout event has been covered in detail in several issues of Super Chevy magazine and on many web forums and on this site. The one missing piece of information has been a complete run down of results.

We’ve done our homework and compiled all the data from multiple issues of the magazine, and the charts below show the raw data.

Of course, as the magazine makes clear, there are many factors to consider when comparing suspension systems and raw test numbers are only one consideration, but we’re happy our Chevelle with the full Street Challenge Air Suspension System was able be at the top of the list.

*Fatmans 1969 chevelle was tested using a 400 treadwear tire. All other cars were tested using a 100 treadwear tire.

Our 66 Chevelle -demolishes- C5 Vette

No, we are not talking about a traffic accident. We’re simply quoting the April issue of Super Chevy Magazine covering the “Super Chevy Suspension Shootout”.

In the article, our 1966 Chevelle is put to the test against a very tough group of classic Chevy iron from the top suspension manufactures in the business as well as a C5 Corvette.

Jim Campisano & Mary Pozzi both took turns behind the wheel, and had some pretty cool things to say about the car – including Jim’s flatering (and very true) quote, “…If you take a gander at the numbers, the Air Ride Chevelle demolished the C5 Corvette in every measured category”.

If you’d like to take a gander for yourself, go out and pick up the April issue of Super Chevy – for now, you can take a peek here on our site and download the PDF of the article.
