Attended college at the UC in Riverside (somebody had to) and worked at the last gas station by the Holiday Inn on 60 before one went over the hump to the track. CanAm/TransAm weekends were an amazing thing. I had a BRE 510 at the time (talk to Brock sometime about the BREs instead of the Daytona like everyone does) so of course we had our own corrals for race weekend. The 2002 and GTV corrals were next to us...so quite the 2.5 TA crowd...made for some damn good hare-n-hounds in the evenings around Lake Matthews and orange groves...miss that thing.
Anyway, what with Chrysler, Chevy and ford all putting out revamped pony car track day specials, it would be great to see a reemerged TransAm...old style versus the SCCA's current offering.
Challenger's fat, no doubt about it...that's why the suspension mods are as important as ever one of the them there 707 horses...Petty's shop targeted the suspension, so I'm hopeful that has passed onto the Hellcat...looks like they added the right stuff, but it also need someone to make all the good stuff work together.
