Just an unofficial preview.
This is way off topic in this post but here tis'. Just some inside information. This unit has been designed strictly for a CR's Cobra. Roll centers, and all that engineering stuff have been designed into this rear end. It obviously is NOT a modified anything! Half shafts were made in England, (for what ever reason!) The engineer insisted on these and claims there is no way any DV Cobra we make will be able to twist them. The center section for our test model is an SVO 8.8 but the new models will be able to use stronger units like a DANA.
Coil over shocks will be included with your choice of shocks and spring rates, along with sway bars.
This is "the" unit that took my original DV from a .78 G on a 100' skid pad using Yokohama street tires to an immediate 1.3 G on the same pad. Hard to believe huh? I didn't believe it either until "Viper" confirmed the numbers from TRC- (Honda's test track) This is the unit that caused the front two rod bearings in my V-10 to get fried. The Viper group insists that we had to pull the 1.3 or we could never have fried those bearings. Our numbers actually came out to a high 1.2??
Oh.. one more thing it is fully capable of a 4-wheel full alignment!
Our goal is to make this available to every Cobra manufacturer and actually re-engineer it to that particular Cobra. No more modified Jag or T-bird rear ends, or SINGLE wishbone configurations!
If you have any techy type questions I'll get the answer. Remember, I am not the engineeer, I'm just the guy that comes up with this stuff! I let the real Pro's design it. Then I ge to test it!
Eye Candy for a Saturday morning:
Just one more item of interest. If your frame is still open it will take 20 minutes to install, weld or bolt in, then simply hook up and bleed the brakes- that's it!
If your car is done, read body on, etc, it can still be done without removing the gast tank! But, it will take about 2 hours including removing the old rear end.
Happy motoring all!
