I've always thought the best thing about the car is the billet suspension, what a work of art !

How does it perform ?

A few years ago, I talked with Rich Anderson from Shell Valley, and I asked him if he had considered a IRS. he said they built one and they really did not see an advantage, especially of the cost. With our cobras, is the articulation of the IRS really better, thus giving a better ride ?

The Kirkham, of course has the typical front suspension. The C/E has a pinched type, I wonder which rides and controls better ?
Has a comparison test ever been done ?

Since I play around with launching mine off a start, not dumping the clutch, just for fun, do the knuckles/half shafts ect. hold up ?
I'm sure in road racing, it would react better than a solid axle like the Ford 9", but what about the difference between normal highway driving ?

Anyway, we race sprint cars like the guys from Cutting Edge do, so I guess I always keep them in mind. I'm not sold on the body but wish I could see one in person. Actually, I would love to dive one of their cars.

Again, the suspension looks awesome !
