Default Looking for a SRT6 in Cali for prototype

As some of you may know I am the head of Inde Motorsports Ranch Racing program, and one of the cars we campaign is a SRT6. It is the only SRT6 to be prepped this extensively for track use only.
We are currently building a BMW which will be the second car in the program. We have secured some great sponsors for the car and have made some great contacts. One of the sponsors is Ground Control Suspensions Systems.
It is through this connection that I have convinced them that there is a market for suspension products for the Crossfire platform. They were more than open to the idea of developing products for the Crossfire. This is where the community needs your help, Ground Control is looking for a car that they can use for their R&D. Basically they need a car that they can use to get measurements from and test the fitment of new products. You will be compensated by getting whatever products they develop installed on your car.

This is what the Crossfire community had been waiting for, we all know that there is a lack of adjustable suspension parts out there. This is our chance to have a proven and legitimate company produce direct bolt on parts for this car. This is something we haven't had the luxury of in the past. This isn't some guy saying he wants to make parts out of his garage, this is a legitimate contender in the performance suspension world.

If you are willing to help out and are in the Sacramento, CA region please contact me, we can't get the ball rolling without a donor car.

Thanks,
Justin

I couldn't agree more, this has been in the works for a few months now...It was hard to not say anything, I eluded to it here Inde Motorsports Ranch Racing but that is about all I could say at the time.

hands down call latemodel21. he has the slk32 which has the same suspension and knows racing suspension inside and out. he can not only help with the suspension but his input would be from an enginerring standpoint and he knows his stuff.

Agreed, Chris is the man. The PERFECT candidate for the job.

Thanks TommyT this will open up a new line of options for the SRT group and a good deal for you. Donnovan responded to an email I sent them yesterday saying the new products should be out late fall.

This sounds great. To be able to drive the Nurburgring under 8:00 I will need all the suspension mods we can find for our cars

Can't wait to see what they have in mind. It would be great if we wont have to buy new shocks where many of us already has the Koni shocks. Maybe a new set of swaybars, stiffer springs and stiffer bushings.

Good news for all. Subscribed. I hope they include adjustable rear antiroll bar links. Thanks Justin and TommyT.

subscribing to see what happens with this.... I'm on KW-V2s, love them. Not sure what Ground Control will come up with. Tough to beat the KW's. Got them on all my rides.

I'm about 75 miles from Sacramento. I'd be happy to give them my car for a couple months if the other one doesn't work out.

Sweet!!!! I'm looking forward to the car handling like something a little newer. My wife's VW CC handles way better than my Crossfire.

With the parts that Justin had in mind for them to make, I would think the car will be leaps and bounds better than when it went in. Im really looking forward to some adjustability....
