Thanks guys!
The track is Arctic Circle Raceway in Norway, very fun track.

The car is my 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, originaly a 318 Barracuda, converted to a 340 'Cuda when I bought it 7-8 years ago. I quickly repainted it and added the AAR theme. It is a project that gets developed as I can afford it. First I added the XV Motorsports Level II rear 3-link suspension, then I did the front XV Level II suspension and chassis stiffening kit. Level II 14"/13" 6piston/2piston StopTech brakes with hydraboost. Wheels are Forgeline WC3 18*9.5" and 18*12" rear. Tires are Toyo R888 275/35-18 and 335/30-18. In stock wheelwells! The engine is still the 340, I've overhauled it, but it's no powerhouse, iron heads, small cam, pretty stock. The engine is my next project, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna build the 340 or get a new gen Hemi or do something other. Transmission is a TCI streetfighter 727. I want to convert to a five or six speed manuell. Rearend is a 8-3/4" with suregrip and 3.23:1.
It weights in at 3461 lbs and actually has 54.7%/45.3% weight balance with 3/4 tank of fuel and no driver. An alu headed motor would move it close to 50/50.

As is now, it is a real handler, amazing grip, exellent brakes. But not on par when you talk about drivetrain. I just tought the right way was to make it handle before getting more power.

Imported it from the states, had Oregon plates on it. The WPC club lists about 40 Barracudas (all years) in Norway, so they are pretty rare. In comparison the Mustang Club has over 2000 cars listed. Sometimes there is a few cars for sale, but they charge a hefty price. I'm glad I got one. I say like Troy Trepanier: "You ain't got what I got" And that is true about any Pro-Touring car.

Already reminiscing about the glory days, Todd? Yes, I did notice a certain blue car in the background.
