72 Dart Swinger 3.6L Pentastar +T5
Dart made it to its first Autocross. @Trojmn was there too to drive it.
Over all the car handled great! The 16:1 manual box + Fast ratio arms +Castor +265/35 = hard work rowing the car through an overly tight course.
I tell you what, you don't appreciate how hard a car is driven even on a small parking lot course. So there were a few issues that popped up.

- Fuel was leaking out the gas filler tube during hard Right hand corners. Working on a solutions
- What seemed like Fuel starvation is suspected to be a Limp mode. Near the end off a 38s course, there was a loss in power. I noticed the RPMs were held dead on 3200rpm. Stupid me disconnected the battery before scanning the codes, so root cause is still inconclusive.
- Rear tires rub in jounce + hard cornering.
- Braking performance is underwhelming. Rear brakes may just be over performing.
- 2900-3200rpm sounds like complete ***. like two fart canned Hondas...its terrible.so acoustics are on the list
