4-Door Satelite bests BMW track times

[Bullitt-]

Jan-14 Hot Rod did a tire test using this 4-Door '70 Satellite.  They got better times than their regular test car BMW's and about the same as the professional drivers track car, a S2000.
  Not here to sell anything, you can search "kevin wesley satellite" and see plenty on the car.
