Awesome car, and great build. Road Courses are the best. Congrats on a fine build of a fine car.

Does it have a keisler auto OD unit?
Too funny....no K junk in this ride, my builds require high speed stability and parts made with pride & integrity.
As for the set up there is no exotica underneath. This is part of it but not all of it. The secret is how & where I did the extra welding
Hemi leaf springs and torsion bars. Car is lowered via the front spring eye QA1 shocks RMS upper control arms and rod end strut rods Boxed lower control arms Firm Feel sway bars and steering
I applied the same wheel tire formula 16x8 wheels, 4.5 backspace 255-50-ZR16 tires. This works, works well, works best, anything else is a compromise. Take note!
Top speed was limited by fuel and engine venting issues 115 mph for now.
The loose converter is excellent esp coming out of the turns. There are no temperature concerns. With competition tires I expect it to be a real beast next year.
This car has the most incredible on center steering, like it has a rack and pinion steering box. Thanks for the interest.
Thanks to the people over on the Dodge Charger forum for the technical help with the idiosyncrasies of a Charger.
