Do we have a thread of just members cars going around turns? If not, maybe this should be the thread to start?

Yes the right rear tire is off the ground, about a half inch. I have a BIG poster the photog gave me for helping him, as a car spotter while he was on course taking pictures, later in the weekend.

Jim - DemonDuster -- T/Anks a million for posting those pics from Monster Mopar Wknd/Lucas Raceway/Indy... ALL MOPAR AUTOCROSS... Sept 2012... that event was the BEST MOPAR EVENT I EVER ATTENDED... the autocross was great with good speed (avg ~50mph).. unlimited runs and EVERYONE WHO ENTERED HAD A GREAT TIME! Hope we can do it again... LUCAS's track is very good and we'd ultimately hope to have actual "competition" runs for awards, classes, etc. WE CAN DO IT JUST AS WELL AS THE DRAG RACE CLASSES AND WITH MORE ENTHUSIASM! Hello Josh King.. are you listening?

The AMX 2-seater cars are awesome and with tons of potential... they are frequent race winners... light weight, short wheel base... many secret and easy tricks can be done to them to out-perform most other pony cars... plus, not everyone has one (like a GM or Ford)... they stand out as more unique cars... always an eye-grabber!
Heres a pic of one of my hi-speed road course autocrosser friends with his 79 Hornet AMX... he's extremely fast and rarely ever loses any races (maybe only against an older Corvette within his class)... very highly modified to the limit of the MCSCC.org "B/M" class rules... he runs on 16" Hoosier A6 radials... plus he's a very aggressive driver.... (his dry-sump and hi-perf built 401 V8 helps a lot, too!... car weighs ~2900 pounds)

Thanks to Alex for taking all those pics, and Rob (now of Robs Rod Shop) for lending me the seat while mine mine was being redone. Nothing like a vynil covered bench to autocross on! Hey, better than nothing.

Milodon just recently in the last two years made a road race pan for AMC's. Or maybe redesigned one. They have provision for external oil pump, IIRC.

I bought the Charger in 2000 with the plans to make it several notches above what I had with my previous "muscle" car.... a 76 Camaro.
The Camaro was required to pass smog testing, so I was limited to a mild cammed small block. The Charger had no such restrictions.
The Camaro was set up with budget based heavy duty factory suspension components. Trans Am sway bars, Station wagon coil springs cut down, urethane bushings and all that. The Charger was bought at a point where I had more money to spend.
The Camaro was lower than my Charger is. The Camaro weighed 3680 with a 700 R4 OD trans and a few lbs more when I switched to a Saginaw 4 speed. It handled great and rarely ever caught me sleeping. The Charger weighs a little more, sits a bit taller but has wider tires. I hesitate to push it as hard on the street as I did with the Camaro. It may be because I have a bunch of money tied up into a car that isn't so easy to replace as a Camaro!

I bought this set up from RMS and I think he just re-sells Air Ride Technologies stuff. I have no specs like you are asking for but you might get them from www.ridetech.com
I did not have this awesome of a project in my minds eye when I started, it sort of evolved but I absolutely intend to drive this car. I have been staring at it for 5+ years and I am SOOOOOOO over just looking at it.
It will be fun to talk to folks about it.

Triangulated 4 link is what my car used from the factory...
Not a bad setup for a factory setup, but if I was going from scratch think I would go with a 3 link and watts link.
(You could get your roll center and what not dialed right in that way, along with locating the rear better and not have any binding issues either.)

Thank you very much. I'm from the Seattle area originally so it won't really be a shocker for me to move. I likely wouldn't consider it except A) My wife prefers cooler weather, and B) its getting very crowded here with no prospect for improvement.

Asking about my Aspen? I've always wanted to build a short track stock car inspired street machine. It's going to be a street fighter style pro-touring car that will replace the Mustang as my autocross/track day/weekend cruiser. My original intent was to just cut the front clip off of the car and install a Howe road race front clip but I stumbled upon the chassis as a complete roller minus calipers for the same money as the clip. It's a Laughlin 105" truck arm / big spring short track chassis that was run as a BGN North car. It has a fresh Richmond quick change under it, 12:1 steering box and a bunch of small items that I can re-purpose. I've already cut all the cage off of it and I'm getting ready to cut the rocker rails off to create front and rear sub frames. Then everything under the Aspen from the taillight panel to the firewall plus the front rails and inner fenders will be cut out, new rocker rails will be fab'd and welded to the Aspen's inner rockers and the "new" sub frames will go under it.

The fender lips were folded up inside (i.e. fender 'rolled'), but that's it for the lips. I do have some other issues, though. I've got 7.2" backspacing front and rear on 18x9.5" tires. With all that backspacing, the tire hits the frame rail about the same time it rubs the fender (1-1.5 turn from center). I try to keep it to 1x turn from center and under when driving- so the turning radius is similar to my truck. I haven't tried an autocross in the car yet, but I've got more than enough for street driving and road course work. No rubbing anywhere with either.
I did have to trim the front and rear corners of the front wheelwell, and I used the adjustable strut rods to locate the tires as well. I was slightly rubbing just off center when turning prior to this fix (back corner of front wheelwell).
I was also rubbing the inner fenders on compression- so I cut out a piece and added contoured trailer fender (!) pieces to gain 1.5" clearance in the compression direction. Ive got ~3" of compression now before bottoming out the LCA (3/16" bump stops in there). Last thing I want is the tire contacting anything at 145+ mph.

We've got a couple built for fun...
They even literally fly sometimes!
I know you're gonna roll your eyes... but thats by far my favorite pic ov your Challenger. Love the car, but its just too damn low for my tastes. This pic looks "normal" hahahahahaa
