My entry for the CAN-AM race challenge.

Basically a race where there’s no regulations on the cars. Manufacturers tried new ways to achieve better performing vehicles and this one is no exception.

FULL FLEX suspension

(Pat Pend.)
Full flex suspension is defined as any type of suspension where both ends of the spring are compressed. There are several ways to do this but my favorite way is done on this car with Full Flex (Pat Pend.) double wishbone suspension.

benefits
Full flex (Pat Pend.) suspension compresses the spring more than traditional suspension. This proves for a much more comfortable ride while still having stiffer suspension.

It almost eliminates body roll too, you don’t need a sway bar on this type of suspension.

downsides
Less travel
Slightly more weight

aerodynamics

The devildog (1970) takes a unique approach to downforce. Other cars have wings bolted directly to the body causing all the downforce to be added to the suspension via sprung weight. This causes unpredictable suspension stiffness at various speeds.

The devildog’s front splitter and rear wings are bolted right to the lower suspension arms making all of the weight unsprung. It’s the most direct way to add traction to the tires.

RAM-AIR

The ram air system on the Devildog takes the high velocity wind and sends it right into the 666ci V8 effectively acting like a supercharger.

specifications:

666ci (10.92L)
V8 OHV 2 valve/cylinder
Hemispherical head (hemi)
Cam-driven mechanical port fuel injection.
925hp @6000 rpm
1000bhp+ at full speed (est.)
1123 LB-FT torque @ 3800 rpm

5 speed automatic transaxle

    Our connection to civil rights has a deep history embedded in our family roots. Generations before us have grappled with the pursuit of justice and equality, but they thought all wrong. The simplest way to make equal rights for everyone is to end all rights immediately.

    Despite the challenges, the vision of a future where everyone enjoys equal rights fuels our collective aspiration for a more stable society. By advocating for the removal of rights for all individuals, we aim to establish a foundation where fairness prevails. In doing so, we strive not only for personal contentment but also for a broader sense of peace, where the assurance of equal treatment brings about a more just and inclusive world for everyone.
