agreed, maybe jgtc cars may come close with suspension setting

Bingo. You can't compare the new 'track records' with the previous ones. More and more of the road surface became paved until last year it was 100% paved.

stealth on Pikes Peak track in 1995. when it was dirt road.

(3parts)

the big na v8's where running hella rich there ^^ stealth all good :) I Think he had an advantage there not only with 4wd but also turbos and mitsus maf accounts for the baro pressure at the altitude. pretty cool anyways.

Front fenders were rolled and pulled.......stanced:D

What I find interesting about that car is that it's running a mcpherson strut rather than the double wishbone I would have expected.
