My Dad Mark, is finishing up the last details on his back date Hot Rod. Met up with him at a local cars n coffee last weekend, got to drive the smurf for the first time in about 10 years
. Dad and I did just about every autocross from 2007-2009 in this car, It was an absolute autocross weapon, was all torsion bar, and very dominant, Here's a pic from 2008, Autocross event with San Diego region.
The cool thing about the cars current build, is it still retains the underlying suspension set up, torsion bars, shocks, and chassis alignment that took home many top time of day results. Driving it on the street with rubber motor mounts now, and a nice full light weight carpet kit, It was comfy and smooth, Still had the same mid range grunt as before, and made all the right engine and transmission gear noises, subtle and not too loud. Its a sweet ride.
My Chiffon SC is the same year as the smurf, Dad wasn't having any of my "lets trade straight up talk" haha
