There are a Couple of Us GTO Guy's that are Working with a Chassis Guy on Some Trick GTO Parts, One is a RACE ONLY Front Cradle there will be 2 types an All out with Motor plate set up,and a factory style Mount set up....also a REAL Coil over set up with a lower A-Arm so no more Radius rod bushings or Strut Mounts To FAIL, The Cradle will let you change Your Oil Pan to a Rear Sump and a FRONT STEERING GTO.....:eek:

I'm glad someone is doing this for the GTO. I'm surprised it's taken this long.
On a side note - I was under my GTO this past weekend replacing my rear control arm bushings. I kept wondering why nobody makes rear tubular control arms for these cars. They seem pretty simple in concept.

And didn't BMR do a one-off tubular front cradle for the GM Performance Parts GTO that had an LS7 in it?

Very interested in this project... imagine how much you could improve the cars handling in the road course world with products like this. Shifting the engine location back under the firewall is huge too... like they do on the full Road Course GTOs in GrandPrix racing etc.
