What are you guys using for parachute setups? Are you using the pre-made kits like Wild Rides or Wolfe, or is it better to send the car to the chasis shop to let them set it up? Let's hear what you are using and see any pics you might have. Thanks!

wish I did..Sold it to my buddy Mike(Coupe2NV) when I bought my house..He is in England now, and I have the car,which is being built at my house..I will be bringing the car to some events like the NATS when it is done..Mostly it will be used for money races to try and earn back some of the mad money being put into it. :-D

That looks like a nice set up, bolts into the stock bumper location.

Yea, it looks like they have some really nice stuff there. Everything is 20% off now through the end of the year too.

Looks good eric, did you go with the wolf set up?

Also mount the handle where you can reach it easily, i would think off the main hoop up top or off the halo would be the best spot

Yes. I went with the Wolfe setup and then picked up a Stroud chute. The install was a piece of cake. The only part I didn't like was having to drill through the bumper cover, but I walked away and let Matt handle that..lol. I have seen a lot of them on the halo, but it's a decent reach back when I am all strapped in. I am toying around with ways of mounting it to the side of the center console so I wouldn't have far to reach.
