FWIW.... and not sure it will come to anything, but:

I was contacted by GM after Solo Nationals with questions about what the car would need to be a competitive autocross car. Apparently the Mustang got their attention.

Hopefully the act on the information.

well... are you sworn to secrecy? hearing you say that makes me think that they are simply looking for a sales pitch, especially this late in development

Late in development? With still over a year until release, it seems like spring/shock/swaybar development (at a minimum) would still be open to change. Especially with the likelihood of multiple packages being available.

1 year before production begins is late to me. Think about the time it takes to create tooling for something like this. A "Strano Z28" with spring/shock/swaybar is exactly the kind of sales pitch I'm talking about... i don't doubt that Sam could set the car up to be faster, but i'm concered about other things....

that's why i ask if he's sworn to secrecy about what they discussed
