Standing guard to make sure that they are true to form, Brown has taken personal charge of making sure that they perform in a manner that plays homage to the guys that made this series great by integrating only the highest quality current day technology.

An industry first adding a level of handling and performance unmatched by any other live-axle rear suspension. Add Race Double-Adjustable Coil-Over Shocks for even better control.
- Big Stopping Power. Kenny Brown/Baer Pro4-R Racing Brake Kit with 4-piston Calipers (front and rear); lighter than 6-piston calipers (saves unsprung weight), but still uses the same large 6-piston brake pads. Front pads measuring a whopping 25mm/.980” thick (that’s almost a 1” thick front pad). The full race focus carries to the special R-spec 14”x1.25” 2-piece slotted rotors that are lighter, stronger and cool better than standard rotors.
- Solid Driveline. The 540hp and 477ft - lbs. of torque couples through a light-weight twin-disc racing clutch and flywheel, engaging the Tremec 5-speed manual transmissions with Hurst shifter reminiscent of the old top-loaders. The power shoots down the aluminum driveshaft to the 9” rear axle with a good old Detroit Locker or Torsen type differential and 4:10 gears to rocket you off the corners and down the straight.
- Ultimate Control. All that power with loads of mechanical grip from the AGS 5.0 Suspension System claws at the asphalt with Pirelli 305 front and 315 rear slicks mounted on Special Heritage Series light-weight Forgeline Racing Wheels -18”x10.5” front; 18”x11.5” rear.
