Measurements of the thermal conductivity λZ(T) of high modulus Zylon fibers at temperatures between 400 mK and 4 K were performed to assess if they can be successfully employed in the design of high performance suspension systems for cold stages of adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators.
Aside from minor customizing Mr. Prince asked for, the car is identical to an earlier Challenger XV made using vintage shells but filling them with new high-performance engines, suspension and steering.
Despite the corporate policy, Arkus-Duntov kept the Corvette racing program going by developing high-performance packages — racing suspensions, bigger brakes, oversize gas tanks — for private teams.

There was the larger 3.6-liter engine, rear drive and — most tellingly — the 19-inch summer tire performance package, which included polished aluminum wheels, high-performance tires, the firmest available sport suspension, shift buttons on the steering wheel, a performance cooling system and more robust brakes.
In addition to the souped-up engine, it will feature a sports suspension and a high-performance braking system.
Despite the extra beef in the engine compartment, Vernon's vehicles and the like don't have race car suspension or use high-performance tires.
In order to obtain high performance forged suspension parts, the hot compression tests of the ingot were carried out.
