Group 2 really stepped up this time and actually ordered (for stock) some additional 105 sets of Ron Simons' wonderful Nurburgring-tuned RSRacing suspensions for our cars....
I can say "our" (now that I am in the process of acquiring a GTV street-track project) and I plan to run one of Ron's wonderful setups on that car!
I miss my ' 69 1750 (but I had to sell it...) It was a planed partner-effort to go and run in vintage here in the PNW, but without the right budget, I am just not that in to the whole SOVREN thing anymore (other than as a spectator) until I can do something a bit more interesting (with the right budget) down the road...
The 3.7 is taking all of my money for the moment! Any way, I loved driving the 1750 on the street a BUNCH and I can just imagine what it would be like - with the right suspension!
With the RSR setup the front maintains a seperate shock and spring arrangement, spring-pan and shim-adjusted; the rear goes to an adjustable coil-over arrangement - complimented with a front anti-roll bar! All of it maintains the OEM mounting points so some vintage sanctioning bodies may very well allow it, but not SOVREN!
For me; a street/track GTV will be just fine! (Twin Spark motor, no seats at the rear, full custom carpets and a harness bar - or even a little half-cage back there - some cool wheels, sport seats, individual throttle-bodies, a GoTech engine management system and off you go!
