First of all isn't is SAD that you have to go to Sweden to find awesome examples of our outdated cars being run hard in a series????
Second, how is it the get the NEW CAMARO out racing before we do here in the states????? And last, I thought those Camaro Cup cars were stock based cars.....kinda like ITE/AIX.....stock tub...and not THAT advanced....I think the swede I talked to years ago had a GM crate motor in his....Fastburn 383 I think..... THAT THING IS A FULL ON TUBE FRAME GT-1 CAR!!!!!!!!!! |

The Sweeds are crazy. Anyone still get Hot Rod Magazine? See the AWD Black 32 Ford? BAD ASS.
I know a guy that built is own dog ring Harley trans over there too. There's more examples. |

meh.. tube frame car with a fiberglass body, carbed SBC and a rock crusher. Move on folks, not much to see here.
The stuff that did jump out at me: Ultra low profile tires - is this technology shared with DTM or down under? I don't see any domestic series with zero sidewall. Catalytic converter - get ready for ORV smog over here. Those 5" 100cell Euro cats are not cheap, and EPA/CARB is doing their best to drive the low end cat mfrs out of business. Is that a 10bolt? On a real race car? I'd call it just for mock up if they hadn't widened it and built a 3rd link bracket for it. Now THAT is interesting. |

I don't think those are the same cars. Take a look at the tire in this pic
(IMG:http://www.bryntessonmotorsport.com/images/967.jpg) Versus the tire pictured on this car (IMG:http://www.bryntessonmotorsport.com/images/959.jpg) In fact, take a look at this pic - see how the brake calipers mount on the BACK of the spindle? Not that way on the 5th gen mockup pictured above (IMG:http://www.bryntessonmotorsport.com/images/961.jpg) |

I'm having a hard time telling what that axle is. If there was a shot of the cover I could tell for sure, but my best guess is an older 8.5 10 bolt, which isn't a bad choice IMO. |

Speaking of which, why in the hell would you build your own spindles from scratch and have so much kingpin angle and offset built into them as well as anti-ackerman steering. Looks like in some of the pics they have some off the shelf wide-5 stuff in there instead. This post has been edited by roostmeyer: Mar 16 2009, 12:34 PM |
