Kenny Brown Heritage Spec Racer Features

Kenny Brown Heritage Spec Racers are serious vehicles dedicated to building on the original Trans Am series that raged from 1966 to 1972. 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. Current with all things performance, just look at the key elements hand-picked by Brown that will make his Kenny Brown Heritage Trans Am Spec Racers special: 

  • Solid Foundation. Brand New'69 steel bodies (licensed by Ford and GM) with full competition roll cages with several styles of race seats to choose from, as well as HANS 6-point harness belts.

  • Exceptional Driving Dynamics. Advanced handling, grip, and braking from Kenny Brown’s newest Trans-Am inspired Advanced Geometry Suspension System AGS-5.0 featuring full-race front double-wishbone suspension with power rack & pinion steering paired with Kenny Brown exclusive new ZR/K-Link rear suspension system. 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.
