Please, only cars that turn at speed!

I will start with the latest monster. It's big, fat, heavy but handles very well.

This is my creation but it's not mine.

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 01/14/12 04:38 AM

OK, its not a mopar, but its got a mopar driver, me. It was mine for a 3 day driving school at sebring. With my limited track time and experience, I was very impressed as to how well car was balanced and how easy it was to rotate in the turns with just the right the throttle, I don't mean dirt track. It had awesome brakes 275/45/17 on corners, 2500lbs. The car is my holy grail for what I would like with my mopars. FWIW is got a 3 link live axle, with a watts, SB Ford, 5 speed.

The wheels are 15x10, two are home built Rallyes and the other two are Pete Paulsen (or, if the pic was early enough they were all home built 15x10 small bolt wheels). The tires were free slightly used Nascar slicks from the old Mesa Marin raceway in Bakersfield.

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 01/15/12 05:56 PM

Yeah, but there was no budget for tires so we went where we could. The car was a hacked-on old drag car that left the factory with a slant so we just hacked a little more. It did grip nicely for autocross. I've got a couple of videos of it on youtube.

Tom,

Why are you turning your AAR into a show poodle? IIRC you don't drive it much anymore, just curious.

He said it was a former car I believe. Maybe the new owner wants it to be a trailer queen?

I told the Rocket Resto folks that I would gladly take it on the track to put on show for everyone, but I think they have cut some things out. There is no drags and I saw no mention of the road course on the latest flyer. So we will see.....we like to drive...not sit around!!!

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 05/22/12 04:27 PM

That's the only reason I'd go is to watch the road course. Right now I'm not sure I'll have the money to drive the AMX over, I'd drive the SS/T truck for better gas milage. Have to fix the boat, it's more important to go fishing. I hope they state their final events choices a week before the event so we all know just what is going to happen.

It'd be good to see all the road course modified cars even if the track day isn't going to happen. My flyer has drag racing and road course hot lap day mentioned, I got the flyer last summer. So I think Rocket Resto needs to post the latest flyer in this thread. hint hint

There still isn't anything on the race track's web site about this event.

Not much more then a show/ swap at this point. It will be hard to convince myself to bring her down if I can't get the car on the road course.

Ya, I don't think I'd go just for that. I'll just go fishing again. I'll have to get the AMX started soon anyway. Got the Charger running today, no problems, just needed to get the fuel pumped up to and into the carbs as it's been a few months, same for the AMX.

No competition yet. Steering has not been 100% until tonight but it does corner very well. Now I am comfortable with a little road course trial.

The XV '71 is from Tennessee and I am from Kentucky. He has all the good parts for some serious carving. Mine is being pieced together by me as funds allow. Mine gets driven on long hausl so I have to be careful with aggressive mods. I absolutetly love the Tennessee car. I have met the owner and saw the car in Chatanooga on the Power Tour.

If you are talking about mine they are factory power disc up front and drum on back. I'd love to upgrade the rears to disc but the rearend is an 8 1/4. I'll have to re-do an 8 3/4 then put disc on the rear.Right now it is a very fun car to drive but it is weak in some areas.

Badonky sounds sillier than ass sound offensive.

Here's mine. I just swapped all my super stock spring stuff out for firm feel springs, torsion bars, upper arms, strut rods and QA1 shocks along with a 1 1/4 front bar. Also put a flaming river manual steering box in it. I really like the way it drives now but I still have a lot of tuning to do.

Imperials corner well. At least that's what the magazine guys said in 1969. According to them it wouldn't keep up with one of the sports cars at that time but it easily outperformed both the Caddy and the Lincoln.

Thanks guys! I've changed a lot of things at once and I'm slowly getting used to it. So far no regrets on any of the changes though. Its hard to be smooth with the manual 16.1 steering I'm finding out its gonna take some practice.

After 25+ years af dedicated hard-core SCCA Solo II/autocrossing (F/Stock, then E/Street Prepared), plus another 10 years of recent hybernation, for the past ~3 years I've come out again... doing some hi-speed road course lapping events (social fun) and... even get to be the "Pace Car" at some wheel-to-wheel road race weekends (Road America, Autobahn, Blackhawk Farms)... I'm a comeptitor deep down, so, even though I also attend a few car shows, I'd always rather be racing. It all started in the summer of 1975 right when I bought the car.

Great Pics!...I'm curious as to the reason, if there's one, why the front spoilers are switched/installed side to side (drivers on pass, Passenger on Drv's) on the AAR Cuda

Those are some ugly azz wheels, the car is cool!

I built this car in the late 80s to handle and went with the wheels because they fit the tires I wanted to use which were Goodyear Eagles at the time.

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 08/02/12 03:45 PM

Nice looking car Challenger 1.... are those rims Cragars (I'm aware they offered similar rims like the Centerlines)... or are they Centerlines? My race rims on my T/A are 16x10 Centerline "X" series; I've run with 255-50-16s (BFG Comp T/A R1 and Hoosier) .. and also currently Hoosier 275-45-16 Hoosier A6. The Centerline X-series are lightweight 2-piece forged aluminum rims intended for road racing.
Posted By: Mopar Mitch

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 08/02/12 03:53 PM

As for the AAR chin front spoliers being switched side-to-side, I'll ask him if that's actually true. If it is, it may be only for ground clearance. Actually, IMO, they can be an extension towards clipping pylons on an autocross course (fractions of inches are important here just like fractions of seconds).... but, they do tend to keep the image of the car accordingly. (I'm planning to install a full-width front spoiler soon, and that will add some extension towards pylons, but, I'm also doing more recent hi-speed track lapping sessions whereas the full-width front spoiler could possibly do some good for me).

Thanks

I was just kidding you about the wheels, I don't see them very often.
Your car is very cool and I love to see them used hard like yours!

Mine are Centerline X and I went with them because they had the right offset and size for the tires I wanted to run back around 1988 or so. There 15" wheels.
They are very lightweight and strong and I'm too cheap to replace them. When I mess with my steel wheels makes me appreciate the lightweight aluminum wheels.
I'm digging your deep dish wheels!

Posted By: Mopar Mitch

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 08/02/12 04:10 PM

Yeh... those Centerline X-series are tough wheels and reasonably lightweight. I bought mine ~1986 as I have some other racers who also run these same rims (16x10 with 5" backspacing). Will you be at Monster Mopar Wknd at Indy Sept 22-23? There is a good possibility of an All-Mopar Autocross (medium speed ~45mph) in the works at that event... more info to follow.

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 08/02/12 06:13 PM

drove my junkbox to the top of Pikes Peak here lately, twice!
It kind of sucks because it is now all paved and your'e following a bunch of grandmas to the top. Your car better be tuned to make it to the top, because I didn't haven't enough power to spin the tires in the gravel at the top even though I was super lean with plenty of timing.

Lot's of turns on the way up.

When I went to start the car at 14100+ feet, it sounded like someone stole my spark plugs it spun so fast because there is no air up there.

Top of Pikes Peak again, 2 years earlier. 32 degrees this day and a lot more gravel road to drive on. With it being wet,icey and gravel I don't think my car would have made it without a suregrip rearend. It was slipping and sliding around those gravel turns, it was intense in the thick cloud cover.
Fired up my windshield wipers, first time in 25 years that day. Defrosters were mandatory also so you could see. Coming down the mountain....


Fun to watch the alitimeter go up and down.

No I wasn't, that was so fricken cool!!!
After the second time up that mountain for us the wife said we could scratch it off our bucket list?? I don't think so?

I got to drive up that mountain again and again. It is so fricken cool, 156 turns! I looked at my wife and smiled when we reached the top, it really is special! Thanks for links, I really enjoyed watching them.

Re: Cars that corner Pics! - 08/05/12 07:02 PM

I didn't see an area to introduce ones self so I thought this was as good a place as any. I'm Dave Dusterberg, I'm the Activities Director for the Indianapolis Region SCCA and I'm a Moparhead.

Here's some pics of Mopars I've built, owned, or been associated with that handle.



This is my most recent racecar. It's a 1996 SOHC Neon Coupe that I built into an SCCA Improved Touring car. I sold it recently so I can start on a Mopar based street fighter project.



This is the last stock car I built for myself. It's a 1978 Dodge Magnum.



I built this Neon for a speed shop I was employed at. It's a genuine 1995 Nitro Yellow-Green ACR. That's me behind the wheel at Nelson Ledges.



This Neon is owned and built by Chad Murfin. He invited me to drive as part of his team at the Nelson Ledges Longest Day 24 hour in 2008 and the Longest Day 12 hour in 2009. Great guy and great little race car.



1973 Charger Rallye 340. This is the first car I really got serious about making handle. It taught me a LOT.

Brian, have you thought about putting a 70 AAR rear spoiler on you car?

I've got a fiberglass one and a busted real one and I'm debating on how to section it and make it flow into the crown of the barracuda decklid.
