• American Classic TRANS-AM: October 12, 2012

[Wolfpack987]

What better a way to celebrate classic American muscle than to run those classic cars at one of America's more iconic and well know (for endurance races at least) track, Daytona Road Course.  The idea is to hold a 2 hour endurance race at Daytona Road Course using the three following vehicles:

-1963 C2 Corvette Z06 race car
-1969 RM Camaro Z28 race car
-1970 RM Challenger R/T race car

VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS:
C2 Corvette Z06 race car - 100% stock.
-630 hp
-1168 kg curb weight
-1.85 kg/hp
-609PP

1969 RM Camaro Z28
-all power adders and stage 3 engine upgrade, 549 hp
-stage 3 weight reduction, 1085 kg curb weight
-1.94 kg/hp
-603PP

1970 RM Challenger R/T
-all power adders and stage 2 engine upgrade, 739 hp
-stage 3 weight reduction, 1260 kg curb weight
-1.72 kg/hp
-633PP

All horsepower figures should be accurate to within 5-10 hp as I am not sure if my test cars are all fully broken in yet.  I know that the Challenger appears to have a PP advantage but that is only b/c the PP system is thrown off by torque figures.

Sounds like fun, I've wanted to do something like this for a while.  It just sucks that PD did not provide us with a Mustang RM. 


If the timing works out put me down for a Camaro RM. I've got a butt load of these things and I need to put one or two of them to good use. 

[RickS95]

Did someone say Daytona Road Course?

[DudeTuna]

I'll check out the '69 and depending on time and date I should be able to make it.

Weekends probably work best for me btw.

[GrumpyTuna]

 


 I love the Daytona Road Course! I also like the 69 RM Camaro.

[Wolfpack987]

Sounds good so far.  We will aim for a weekend event time.  Until we get more people interested let's hold off on everyone jumping on the Camaro bandwagon, we need some variety for this event!  Car assignments naturally are first come first serve but no more than half of the field can be one car (as a guideline going forward  )

Current car requests noted...

[Wolfpack987]

So are more people not interested in this? 

Right now we have 6 people showing interest and I was really hoping for a minimum of 10 

I'll try to drum up more interest this week after which point we will try to set a date and nail down vehicle choices.

Right now it's

GrumpyTuna - '69 Camaro
DudeTuna - '69 Camaro
RickS95 -
dlrws6 - '69 Camaro
TunaPhreak -
WolfpackS2k - '70 Challenger

(unless we add more people assume further Camaro requests to be denied).

[Turbo-Tuna]

I'd be in depending on start time. 8:30-9:00 eastern is the best time for me to start. I would want the the Corvette.

[Revengel]

Totally up for it (time/day/wee baby Shaemus allowing) and I have five of the Camaros.  I'd like to run one of my Redsking color ones please if possble...



If not I'll go with a Charger.  I have to drive something I can paint when it comes to these things...

[LooneyTuna]

I'm partial to Camaros as well, but I love the Challengers as well.

[Wolfpack987]

Okay a few more hits makes this more reassuring

If this is on a Thursday or Friday night I can rock a 69 Camaro (it's the only one I like enough to actually have).

[Grilled Tuna]

if im around on set date/time i'd like to punish a hemi...

[Metal]

I'll have Internet tomorrow (thank god) and I'll run any car!, just not sure about the date/time yet

Sorry, I haven't been following up very well.  Turned on my PS3 last night for the first time in almost two weeks.  Can someone save me the trouble of reading through all the posts and let me know if a date and time have been decided?  I'm too lazy to look for myself.
