Money spent on a car is all up to the owners... When I won Both the Pro Solo
National Championship in GS and Solo 2 National Championship in GS in 1997...
Our MX-6 was on STOCK Shocks!! We are talking this thing went door handle to
door handle! :^)
And Mike... although Dan did well in Ft. Myers... please... don't kid
yourself... you do need shocks.. in a Z-06... Albeit... maybe only single
adjustables like Ames and I used in Topeka to take 1st and 2nd... but I can
tell you... shocks definintely help that car. I can't make this claim about
'02 Z-06's... if for some reason the shocks are much better... but the '01
Z-06's were horrible.
Peace,
Dave
