This car has been my project for 3 years, it spends it’s time parked in an air conditioned shop and has had most engine, drivetrain and suspension components measured and then turned into CAD data. The suspension points have been set up and modified to provide a proper amount of camber gain per inch of travel, roll center and ‘swing arm’ length. The Superformance does have a well dsesigned suspension with unequal length control arms front and rear. The car has responded well to the rubber components being replaced and I consider it truly “dialed in”. Bump steer has been adjusted out using precision tools down to increments of .010 rack adjustment, SPF’s have a nice feature in that the steering rack is adjustable in height and I’ve replaced the original rubber mounts with aluminum ones. The suspension travel has been designed to provide the first 1-1/2” of travel to be lightly sprung at which point jounce bumpers stiffen the travel for the remainder. This provides a gentle ride and compliance that increases in stiffness once driven hard.
The main feature of this car is the induction system. It’s the prototype that has had 6 months of design time. It’s designed specifically for this engine and I consider it the most successful project I’ve ever done. Being electronically fuel injected it has gentle driveability much like a normal car but makes massive power with a torque curve that sits above 400 (rear wheel) from 2500 rpm on up. The car makes 497 RWHP. It’s a very fast revving engine and can free rev at 14,000 revs per second thanks to the lightweight clutch. The Cerametallic discs allow slippage better than a normal racing disc and the car is easy to drive in traffic.
The engine has been rebuilt during the recent induction system project and has several hundred miles on it, almost any moving part on the car has been replaced at one point.
