Re: Progres of the giant

custom power for neutral geometry. We had to have a custom rack because the car is larger and we wonted it to have a short turning radius . And a power rack and still be under two turns lock to lock. and with a 19X11" front tire you got to have power.

Re: Progres of the giant

Dave Allen of McKenzies spent a few days with us and showed us how to properly set up an axle. This is a bigger setup than is in the Saleen that he also builds.
