Ultimate Street Car Invitational - Open Track Smackdown

HOT ROD, Optima Batteries, and Air Ride Technologies bring together some of the world's best street machines and make them do battle on the road course and in an autocross. Who was best?It's an idea the HOT ROD staff has had for a couple of years but never followed through on: invite a bunch of high-end muscle cars (with a definite Pro Touring vibe) to a road racetrack, make their owners actually drive them hard, and then report on how they worked. Our suspicion was that many of them would fall flat on their 335-wide tires, victims of trying to do too much with too many trick parts and not enough actual tuning. Again, we had the idea but never did anything with it. That is, until Optima Batteries' Jimi Day gave us a call.
