Wow--that motor sounds fantastic. The car is a bit of a pig for a course that tight, but it looks like they set the suspension up really nicely/effectively. The driver was damn good at drifting it around like that without hitting any cones.
I have to say, I like this current trend of pro-touring/restomod cars that can do stuff other than go in a straight line.
Car is beautiful, BTW. They did a really sweet build.

Upon reading about the build, I'm STUNNED that a car on AirRide can handle that well.
I remember the Mustang on that Forza show on SpeedTV had AirRide, but it always looked like it was weak in the suspension dept. This car looked flat as a pancake through the corners. I guess it's not always for show.

no helmet during the autox. Wonder who was doing the insurance for that event. Neat car though.

MMMMMMmmmmm.....
After watching the video i was slightly surprised their was not more tail out action, but then i read that the car has 335 meats on the back
.
I guess that along with a good driver will keep teh Hemi in check.

Sweet car, I love how simple it is. KISS! That must be the tightest autocross course I've ever seen, he never even got out of first gear!

Quite an impressive car, but it would be cool to see it on a more open course. It looked like the cones were barely further apart than the fenders on that one.
