Sorry everyone will have to forgo today's regular content and push it back to tomorrow as nostr.band is having uploading troubles today with pics.

With this in mind, here is an interesting #documentary on the 5th gen Viper smashing the world record for the fastest production car lap record around the NΓΌrburgring during it's final year of production. #cars #carstr #carchain #carporn #grownostr #racing #documentaries

1970 AMC Javelin Trans-Am

The AMC Javelin Trans-Am race car was a high-performance muscle car that competed in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-American Championship (Trans-Am) from 1970 to 1972. The Javelin was a product of American Motors Corporation, which was known for producing affordable and reliable cars.

However, the company wanted to change its image by participating in motorsports. In 1967, they hired former Ford engineer Roy Lunn to lead the design team on a new project: a muscle car designed specifically for racing. The first AMC Javelin produced for the Trans-Am series was the 1970 model. The car featured a distinctive design with a long hood and short deck, flared fenders, and a sleek profile. It was powered by a 390 cubic inch V8 engine that produced up to 340 horsepower. The Javelin also had a number of performance upgrades, including heavy-duty suspension and brakes, a four-speed manual transmission, and a limited-slip differential.

In its first year of competition, the AMC Javelin proved to be a formidable opponent, winning two races and finishing second in the championship standings. The Javelin's success continued in 1971, when it won six out of eleven races and secured the Trans-Am championship. Drivers Mark Donohue and Peter Revson were behind the wheel of the Javelin during these victories.

The AMC Javelin continued to race in the Trans-Am series in 1972, but faced stiff competition from other manufacturers such as Ford and Chevrolet. Despite this, the Javelin managed to win two races and finish third in the championship standings. However, after the 1972 season, American Motors Corporation decided to withdraw from the Trans-Am series, citing budget constraints.

The AMC Javelin Tran-Am race car was a highly successful and iconic Trans-Am racer that left an indelible mark on the Trans-Am series. Its success on the track helped to boost American Motors Corporation's image and reputation, and cemented the Javelin's place in muscle car history. #racing #racingcars #cars #carstr #grownostr
