Pro tour muscle cars. Anybody run with one?
While at Barber I was passed (rather quickly) by a pro tour 68 roadrunner. I have a 69 charger in the garage and have thought about going this route. It's not cheap, but it appears that you can make these old cars very competitive on a road course.
Have any of you seen or run against on at your local track? What were your thoughts.

Money is not the concern for this project. I love my miata, but hands down, I'd rather be in my charger any day. Especially if it could handle like a track car.
The big question is...... can these cars turn competitive lap times, or is it 30k invested to have a fun non-competitive car that also looks fantastic?
If it's the latter, then I would just turn my miata into a full race car, and cruise the charger.

But - No, I don't want to think about wadding it up!

Holy **** those are giant turbos. I'm running a 440 with 10:1 pistons, worked head, bigger than stock cam. I'd add aluminum heads, and a bigger cam when I redo the project. I was going to use a gear vendors unit with an auto, but I might have to go with a manual trans. This idea is very new to me, and I'm still in the research stage. It's a lot of money, but it would put both of my interests in one vehicle.

Who do you think makes the best products, or are they all about the same?

Personally I like RMS, they have been around for a long time and have a lot of praise in the Mopar community. XV is fairly new and as far as I know only do E-body stuff. They really came in the market when they started doing 5.7 HEMI swaps in E-bodies. They made the K-frame, wiring harness (or manifolds to run carbs) and all the other stuff to do the late model 5.7 and 6.1 HEMI swaps. Then they started making all the other suspension goodies
**edit** I stand corrected, I just checked out their website, they are making B and A body stuff now too

XV does B-body stuff as well. I'm not knowledgeable enough to see if there is would be a performance difference based on the technology one company uses over another. I will say that the RMS stuff appears to be aimed at the diy person.
From a cost stand point RMS seems to win hands down. Now I want a performance comparison. As we all know.....performance doesn't come cheap.
