New Bad Penny suspension eye candy & auto-x vid
For those of you who haven't seen Penny recently, Steve Rupp has just upgraded both the front and rear suspension. Vid is Mary Pozzi running it thru the cones hard.

I don't know what Steve got for his win at Goodguys against other editors in March, but when you take first place the prizes seem to be a little odd nowadays.

Here's another one. I like the decal on the door from the Optima Ultimate Challenge which the car won right after SEMA last year.

Here is an earlier vid Steve posted of his car on a nice big auto-x course before the recent changes, but the car was still awesome in the well put together vid.
The car has less roll now. Steve said this "Even with my car lower the lower control arms are now perfectly parallel to the ground and the car feels amazing to drive. In my opinion it has the nicest most crisp and responsive steering I've ever experienced. The ride feels about the same, but I'm sure it's a touch more harsh over hard transitions. To me it's worth it for the trade off.

For those here that don't know those story, after the car was just finished the 1st time, a driver choosing to be distracted did this to Bad Penny in May 2007.
At least he had good insurance covering the damage his not paying attention caused.
