So I was inspired by some of the cars at Mosport this weekend, and I think this week will be Trans Am Week!! You can use any car that participated in the Trans Am, but it cannot exceed A class. To keep the American theme going, our track will be the Indianapolis GP Circuit. I'm curious to see if this works at all!

I set a lap with the Javelin too, just in case the Pontiac is sketchy.

Hmm Ill throw some cars together tonight. I had a dodge dart in A class already. I ran it once and its not far off your time.
I guess the think that makes me laugh is the motor sizes will be wrong. All the camaros and such were 5 liter cars.........sigpic"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself." -Ferdinand Porsche

Gahhhhh I couldn't beat it! I tried... but I hate how easy it is to trip the off track exclamation mark on this circuit... a wheel off the curbing in the wrong place is all it needs :( !Originally posted by ELVA164 View PostI set a lap with the Javelin too, just in case the Pontiac is sketchy.

I hope not! I try the challenges every week, but I've been trying to wrap up my turbo build, so I usually don't get to them until Sunday.Originally posted by ELVA164 View Post
In the end, it wasn't meant for me this week. I tried the Cougar, which wasn't too bad. Easy 1:34s without any changes to my initial build or tuning. Then, I tried the '70 Mustang. I was hoping the extra horsepower from a modern GT500 powerplant would give good results, but it's brakes were seriously lacking. It made it very difficult to stay on the track in the first corner.The Great Big M20 Timing Belt DIY
