You'd have enjoyed the Mopar Muscle drag racing weekend I filmed near Stratford upon Avon a few years ago, Bob. By Sunday night, the king of the track was a French Dodge Challenger that ran the 1/4 mile in 9.4 secs at 140 MPH. Not bad for an early 70s Dodge. |

Reaction time was perfect, tire temp was just right, the line was plenty sticky. My buddy took it on a run and made an even 9.0. He's a MUCH better driver than I am. I had a 1973 HEMI Challenger and a 1970 HEMI Cuda. A 1967 HEMI GTX rounded out the herd. |

That's about a half to three-quarters of a million in vintage MOPAR muscle these days. I was a teenage motorhead. Cheers, Bob MOPAR = Chrysler MOtor PARts. Their trademark since the twenties.
