I quite like the stupid, chunky, Desperate Dan-styling of this car and happily applied my General Lee stylings from the 1969 Dodge Charger made famous by The Dukes of Hazzard television series.
As soon as I got it out on the track, though, in a B-class championship it was instantly clear (by my driving straight into the end walls at both ends of New York Circuit despite generously-judged braking distances) that this handled like one of those boxes you get on top of elephants. Remarkably, the kerb weight of the Charger SRT is about the same as the average Indian elephant!
I’d even gone to the effort of making a note of the manufacturers of the upgrade parts I installed and used only those manufacturers decals.
I quickly got Andy Garcia to do my driving for me and polish off the Stars and Stripes B-Class championship I had bought the car for. I thought I hadn’t seen him on the silver screen for a while. Go Andy!

Nice General Lee!
