When american cars was a dream, no like today.

Nothing happens in Portland anymore. Well..Indy came back last year and the Perrelli World challenge came too. I hope IMSA and Trans Am come back.

I hope that they bring back the old 50's dirt racing series yes I'm old school I like old cars in what car is in the thumbnail of this video I forgot the name of it

Wait nvm it's a Mercury Capri

Now you have antifa!

[@thetreblerebel]

The Corvette...the high bar of American sports car...was not competitive against Mustangs and Camaros in a road race... I've heard the C3 was terrible but it doesn't even compete compared to other models

They were still running on an outdated chassis compared to the fresh designs of the competition.

The Roush pepped cars were not running V8's. They had the Turbo 2.3 4cyl.

[@sabinabrozynski9215]

All of the Capri's and Mustangs Roush built ran V8's. Merkur's used the turbo 2.3L engine. I was a crew member on a independent TA race team that ran a Roush built Mustang.

[@DM-qm5sc]

I thought they used the supercharged W16's?
