Just an oversea road racing video of my Dart (France).
Sorry for the poor quality video.

Thats cool, personally I would love to see more of this kinda car here with more discussion about "builds". I think if I build another car in the future I'd build it to handle, not straightline stuff again.
What motor ya got in there, has a different sound to it? Feel free to throw out some details about the car.

Very nice!! Looks to be a very tight track, mostly second and third gear; what are you using for brakes?

I like the stance, it looks very nice going down the track.

The "French Connection" sticker on the passenger's helmet is pretty funny. Gotta think the Porsche guys didn't tell their girlfriends about being passed by a Dodge Dart...

verry cool! it looks like you were taking it easy on the passinger not driving on the edge.is that steering wheel a quick release?
why not use a bigger steering wheel so you dont get tired?
what if any anti sway bar,size?
what torsion bar size?
thank you for sharing.

Steering wheel is a quick release and too small for this tight circuit but mainly, car is used on large circuits. This was only for practise and fun. You're right, if I have to enter in a race in a such circuit racing, I would change for larger steering wheel.

No more torsion bars on this car. There are Aldan Eagle coilover on 4 corners.
The sway bar is 1 1/4" from Firmfeel at the stock location.
