[s0nny80y]

Ripped from IGN, coverage of the XDL show. This is crazy! Anyone have ANY info on this beauty?

I believe u should ak Ryan Hampton about the car. Since he's the driver

[GBC]

I have video of it in action up on my website.

The car is a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.

It is running a 13.5:1 compression 468 Cubic Inch Big Block Chevrolet Motor.

I think old cars look like *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* in the Falken scheme, but the Cam itself is badass

haha thats neat! i cant imagine how slow it must be in turns though. still cool though

Slow in corners that thing has so much done suspension wise it is a very competetive car. It took them awile but it is getting there. My friend kevin talks to ryan personally a few times a month so i get updates every so often because it is a badass project.

It doesn't get the angle that the other Falken cars get, but it makes up for it with the SOUND! I think it's just a smallblock 350 though, maybe bored out a bit.

helllooo.... any videos of this thing in action?

[RyanHampton]

Just to make everything clear on the car.

The car has a 468ci motor (aka 7.9 Liters). It is running 950cfm carb. Which makes for interesting throttle response. When most people saw the car run it did not have a lot of angle. In the last two months we have made some mods to the steering rack to get more angle. As far as the speed in the corners, the car weighs 2,940lbs. So the speed is fine in the corners. We will see here at D1. Thank you guys for your support on the car! Its good to see some people who are fans of the old muscle cars. We are hoping that the car is finally competitive in Formula D.

Thanks

Vids are in the link I posted. Good luck Ryan, wish I could see that thing in person. Had no idea you guys did that much weight reduction, good job man!
