Re: Project Tornado: A Natural Disaster

Under normal driving, the front does not feel light at all. When you get on it, the massive torque obviously does show you that there isn't much weight up there, but it's not uncontrollable by any means. On the highway, it feels like a regular truck with a load on the back, that's about it. The frame is full 2x6 tubing, so it weighs A LOT more than stock and is a lot stiffer which helps.

The brakes and suspension are insane. It has 4 wheel power disc, 11 inch rotors all around and 4 wheel independent suspension all on control arms, coils on the front and coilovers on the rear. To give you a comparison, I also drive a C4 corvette lowered with full poly bushings. This truck out-brakes it like nothing else, absolutley hands it to it. It's never had a wheel alignment yet, so I can't comment on the handling, but I bet once I get it all worked out it will compare to the vette. It's very well-built and engineered, just unfinished.
