Pedders Track II Suspension

I’ve driven a lot of hot cars over the years, and I don’t think I’ve driven anything that will handle as well as my Pedderized G8 GT. The only exception was a Z51 Corvette, but I’d take this handling over that car’s teeth rattling, bone jarring and brain scrambling ride any day.

On the country roads, the car begins to excel. From about 10 mph and up you can feel the difference in steering response. The faster you crank the steering wheel, the more you can feel the difference. I would estimate that at least half of the stock body roll is now gone. Everything is much more responsive. The brakes are better than before, and the car even accelerates harder than it did without losing traction. In a nutshell, the new suspension system feels like it’s letting the tires do their job much better – whether it’s in acceleration, cornering or deceleration. If it’s not a steady state, the car is easily outperforming what is used to be.

Cruising on the highway is also improved. The car just ‘feels’ so much more alert and ready. If you set the cruise control on 120 mph for example (not that I did this or recommend it to anyone), the car feels amazing. I think it’s as stable and sure-footed now at 120 mph as the average car feels at 60 mph.

BMR Sub-Frame Connectors

We stiffened up the chassis of our INTENSE TT G8 GT with Sub Frame Connectors from BMR Fabrication. Constructed of ¾" x ¾" x .120 wall rectangular tubing and 3/16" CNC laser cut and formed steel plates, the Sub Frame Connectors from BMR use pre-existing bolt holes on the G8 for a truly bolt in piece.

The triangulating design stiffens and reinforces the chassis by joining three key areas of the vehicle's chassis: the front sub frames, carrier bearing location, and the rear sub frame where the rear suspension cradle mounts. By fastening these three locations, the Sub Frame Connectors enrich the handling and response of our flagship G8 and coupled with the Pedders Track II kit make for some awesome cornering.
