That SR-71 is one hideous looking beast. It looks like a very
confused vehicle, stuck in transformation between a stock Dakota and
an IMSA GTP car that is now banished from competition. Bulges and
bumps. It's lost alot of it's flowing lines from the stock body.
Parts are interesting, especially the engine. Wonder what they did to
it? Is it normally aspirated? Maybe stroked out a bit? I personally
was thinking about that Richmond Gear 6-speed gearbox ever since I saw
it in the Summit Racing catalog. Wonder if I could graft it (the 6
speed) into my Dak? Gee, first I'd have to junk my auto and get a
torch out to cut a hole in the trans tunnel..just for starters!!

>It's an "Independent Rear Suspension"--YAHHOOO
>they made the rear suspension for the SR71 DAK and it uses Viper
components and it's A--BOLTON system available for our DAKs, be it a
2--wheel or 4-wheel drive. They have pictures of it mounted on a
FROG-4by--but I still was impressed. I e-mailed to them to find out more
information and pricing of the system along with what the facts are and
putting DISC brakes on it also-- DO hope they get back to me REAL SOON
and I'll let you guys and gals know.
