Trans-Am racing @ Leguna Seca

I would love to build an old mustang to a period correct Trans-Am racer.

There's something really manly about racing a heavy sledge-hammer of a car that has a motor made entirely of brute force, a 4spd gearbox with a shifter as long as your arm, a suspension that was designed before the revolutionary war, slick tires that offer little in the way of traction and tiny bottle caps for brakes.

You didnt drive these cars with smooth and simple steering inputs and the flicking of your fingers to shift gears, you wrestled them like a you would an attacking bear and hoped that you weren't killed for your troubles.
