Roland-
Thanks for the vids.  Really enjoyed Autobahn #3.
Nice suspension setup, but, you need a wing. :poopoke:
If you visit OKC next year, I have one for you  :cheers:

The sound recording remains a quest. Outside is too loud and too high, inside trunk is too low, inside car is too soft..

Usually a piece of tape over the microphone takes care of this.
mmmmm.... Mopar.... *drool*

.... I was expecting to see some mega buck custom suspension and brakes.
It is nice to see that with some good parts the Challenger can handle really well.
Gives me hope with mine.


That's one of the reasons of posting these videos; showing that our cars can handle very well with some adjustments that won't cost you a fortune.
I used 'How To Build The Ultimate Super Street Mopar' by Mike Martin and this forum as an information source to come to this suspension setup.
In my opinion a proven combo because it's very stable at 150 mph on the autobahn, and handles corners very well as you can see in my videos taken this summer in and around the Alps. (best example is
Schauinsland
), 'chasing' a cyclist)

I considered a wing, but the above mentioned sources didn't convince me of the necessity.
In fact, it could interfere with the downforce my front spoiler produces.

Tried that as well with the outside version; still too loud.

That is epic. Accelerated pretty well even in the higher speeds.

Maybe mount the mic just inside a rear window? Or, on or near the package tray pointing to the rear?

Excellent videos! Really great stuff. Thanks for making them. Try a portable recorder like an Edirol. You can adjust the sound and use a windscreen on the mic. 

I plan on making some vids this winter once I get my car dialed in a bit more. I think from the Ands Bordering desert ip the Montezuma pass then up to the top of mt. Palomar would be cool.  The road ip Mt. Palomar was designed specifically to transport the huge mirror used in the observatory. Its said to be one of the best roads in the world. The banking and sweep of the curves are great.

That was really awesome.  I used to have hopes of taking my '71 back to Nevada for the Silver State Classic or equivalent... this video was a nice taste.
