I just found this vid buried in another thread from a few years ago and figured it is well worth a bump.

An early Series chopped and lowered for the racing track. This vehicle shows very little body roll.

Incidently, I am always amazed how tight the 88" rovers are on banked interstate entrance and exit ramps....they actually handle tighter than than Wranglers with quite a bit less body roll. I am assuming this is because of the heavy duty leaf springs and the fairly decent weight distribution. The same can't be said for taking a county 109 around corners....as anybody that has done so knows WELL!!! LOL.

You can tell he still has Lucas electronics in it by the smoke clouds.

Very true, East High! Or then again, it might be a smoking, belchy Zenith !! :)

EDIT: Looking at the vid again, I think it CAN NOT be Lucas. Because notice that the headlights were working well THROUGHOUT the course !
