PLEASE NOTE UPDATED BUILD - ADJUSTABLE FINAL DRIVE AVAILABLE

Since the Dodge Challenger was released 40 years ago (and I've been looking for a theme for an enduro around Hallowe'en), I think getting a lobby full of 1970 Challengers together for 40 laps of Road America on Oct 30th is a good idea. I did want to make it a Nordschleife race, but the old Dodge is a bit too big for that track.

Directions from Auburn Hills (Dodge HQ) to Road America.

Anyone interested? Will be limited to one lobby unless there's enough people to run two.

Car:
1970 Dodge Challenger
Sport Brakes
Sport Suspension
Sport Front Roll Bar
Sport Rear Roll Bar
Sport Chassis Reinforcement
*Sport Gearbox
Sport Tyres
480hp
490lbft
3461lbs
57% front
S4.2 H5.0 A6.0 L5.5 B5.0

Track:
Road America
40 laps
Estimated race length 1h 40m

ABS: Yes
TCS: No
STM: No
Autobrake: No
Damage: Simulation
Collisions: Always On

Lobby allocation will be random, as will the grid order.
Race will start at 8pm UK time.

i'll be down for this for a giggle ;-)
took the beast around RA....it hits the rev limiter going down the straights at 134mph. Are you keeping that standard box in then?

The only way to get a higher speed without wrecking acceleration is to use the Race gearbox, to get two extra gears. I'm open to suggestions though.

yeh, i didn't know if you wanted to keep it as real to the original as possible? Swapping for the race or sport box should do it, usually tops out with 2-300 meters to go on the straight..so it's not far off. The car goes through gear 1 to 4 really quickly...even a fifth gear would solve the problem

as everything else is sport spec how about the sport box then ?

Dren have you got good tuning settings you care to share with me ?

Need to finish my paint job tomorrow night before TGC ... also want to borrow someone before the race to help me with a photo

Threw on the sport 'box with a final drive of 3.80, and it tops at 145mph. Only two straights are long enough for that speed, and you hit the limiter as you approach the braking point.

I've updated the build with the sport 'box.
