there might be a problem because the suspension is a problem area with the GT500 and a lot of owners have upgraded it.

Understandable. That's why the rules state that it must be a stock-style suspension. We don't mind if they've put better parts underneath. They just need to be in the stock locations.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Don't know if I'll be able to make it. Will have to check my calendar. I can't for the life of my understand why someone would do a rear seat delete though...ever felt the backseat on these cars. I can guarantee it would weigh more doing a seat delete. Is it going to be in Tampa?
