All those cars look beautiful, but that challenger looks absolutely breathtaking! Seeing that literal bus so low-slung and hugging the corners is just a sight for sore eyes!
The Dodge Charger / Challenger / Magnum / Chrysler 300 is the greatest American car of the 21st century. It’s a spacious sedan with unbelievable versatility, it can be an affordable or luxurious commuter or it can be turned into whatever this is
Considering TA2 cars are absolutely dirt-cheap conpared to the other GT cars it's racing against, and had some engine issue.... I say it did substantially well. The TA2 car also lacks the driver aids the GT cars have. No ABS, no traction control, no stability control, and extremeley limited aero when compared to the GT cars. That TA2 is 90% mechanical grip, 10% aero, and 110% driver.
GT-style cars, but still classified as a Sports Car Racing series, started in 1966 as sanctioned part of SCCA. Cars themselves are very similar to ARCA series cars, but obviously more road-course and aero oriented compared to their oval-racing cousins. Plus really the only place we can see Dodge race cars besides NHRA
@@Joshua_N-A nope. grand tourers focus on comfort and high speed driving along with luxury while muscle and pony cars are raw power and fun, though do some focus on handling
@@Joshua_N-A Camaro/Mustang/Challenger are all pony cars; they're smaller than muscle cars and have unique bodywork, compared to muscle cars which were a 'regular' intermediate car with a performance engine. Pony cars are kinda like GTs, but less expensive and less refined. The Trans-Am Series raced pony cars in one class and small sedans in another, exclusively on road courses. Even bigger American muscle cars have done decently in international motorsports; there was a Galaxie that was raced in BTCC back in the day. If most muscle cars are intermediates, a Galaxie is even bigger. NASCAR has always had road course races, so you'd see stock cars at Riverside. In more recent years there's a lot less difference between GTs, pony cars and some cars that used to be thought of as sports compacts. The last few Skylines (Q60, G37, G35) were all as big as pony cars, same with the BMW 3 and 4 series; the Challenger, Camaro and Mustang don't share platforms with any 'regular' cars anymore, they're world-beating GT cars for the most part. It seems like they've all settled on a pretty similar size. Meanwhile in the 70s a Camaro was much larger than a Skyline or 320i. Pony cars of the '60s and '70s were a regular compact platform with a unique coupe bodywork. (Except for the Challenger and same era Cudas, which rode on a shortened B-body platform instead). As the American RWD family car died out, and especially once the coupe market died out pony cars shifted more upmarket. Now they're more likely to share a platform with a luxury car (Camaro), or at least the parts of one (Challenger), unless their platform is unique (Mustang).
Ha ha, I've driven this course 1000 times in Gran Turismo! Cool! I usually run a '68 Dodge Charger that I've built to match my real '70 Charger as closely as I can, or a '70 Plymouth Super Bird.

yep, turned into a full space frame chassis with body that looks like a dodge
All of those are originally based on a Mercedes W210 chassis when Dodge-Chrysler was owned by Mercedes Benz.
@@Stuntman175 No there not, but the Chevy, Dodge and Ford are all powered by Chevy, all American chassis.
@@Stuntman175 very loosely based on that Mercedes.

V8 pushrod oldschool is capable to Fight against modern gt3 engine!!!! (dohc + turbo)
Yes, a lot more displacement will do that.

That's how they race 'em in the US.
And the power, by Chevrolet.

@@thudtheaceeven the mustangs?
And they say challengers can't corner
they can when build it as a space frame chassis. its TA2 car. probably nothing on it interchangeable with a road challenger.
It’s a tube chassis that has nothing in common with a regular challenger but ok
This thing was so bad dodge doesn't race it anymore
😭Why can’t y’all niggas be positive
It's not a Challenger...
This was a great race. Different classes. Different amount of horses
The Owner of that Challenger shows up to AFL games wearing a Raiders jersey.
Is it a grand tourer or a muscle car? Anyway, great quality content.

God damn i love Trans Am cars. What a beast. That fourth gen Camaro is pretty slick too
It's almost strange to see American muscle race on regular circuit rather than oval or drag strip. Are muscle cars just American grand tourers?
