[FONT="]The translation of what the driver is saying is:[/FONT]
[FONT="]:47 " The Charger hits 60 mph in 6 sec thanks to good tires which have good adherence"[/FONT][FONT="]
:54 " The motor is conceived for competition and is not that good for street use as it displays irregular slowing down"
1:02 " Engine also overheats easily as it hit 250 degrees during our tests here at Mont Tremblant"
1:15 " With a weight of 3675 lbs, the Daytona is not ready to flip over and the road handling is not great on the twisted circuit. It leans enormously in the curves"
1:30 " We lose traction on the next curve as the car has very bad understeering"
1:43 " Best lap we did was 2:15 which is pretty poor for a car with 425 hp.I must say though that the engine is much more comfortable at high revs.It can easily rev at 6000
and would be great on the highways"
2:23 " at 60 mph the car took 149 feet to stop during our breaking test"
The rest is basically describing the same dialogue but during a test lap. He mentions the smoke coming out of the fender traps. He says that the rear
spoiler is basically useless except at very high speeds.He hits 120 mph on the straight part of the circuit which makes it the fastest car he has tested to date on that track.
The disc brakes are not great as the car is quite heavy.
At the end he says that unless you are considering becoming Cale Yarborough or a drag racer he sees little reason to purchase a Daytona. Car cost $7000 and he suggests you buy a 383 or 440 instead.
[/FONT][FONT="]The chalkboard says that the fit and finish is poor. The car is too big and the engine is capricious to adjust but it is a good engine.On the plus side it says the tranny is good along with acceleration and top speed.[/FONT]
