Jim Grossi’s Corvette FGT/B wheelie bars set-up

Charles Stewart · 11-27-2023, 03:16 PM

I find very instructive the portion of Bobby Fazio reportage regarding the 69 Corvette of Jim Grossi. We can see the wheelie bars set-up by his own conception.
From what I see, it’s a great idea producing a positive impact on traction, body roll, housing rotation and shocks control. I can see the impact on Pro stock and Pro mod “preparing time before each run”. His concept is innovative and definitively deserves more attention.

What engine combination is in that car?

New 427. Car is a beast. Check out Bobby Fazio`s latest Driver Interview. He does a spot with Jim and his car, including him making a pass.

Good timing, I just finished editing Jim Grossi's feature interview and posting it as we speak.

The rear end and 4 link were originally built by Gary Jennings, looks like the wheely bars are new though. Car looks fantastic now. Good job Jim.
