Assuming a weight of 3850# it takes 224 rear wheel hp, 250 flywheel HP to run 14.5 at 95 mph, that's got to be close to a lot pre emission muscle car times and speeds.

Even more losses with a high stall converter, mine made 460 on a chassis dyno at 6300 with mufflers and it was still going up, allowing for stuff i've done, open headers and the chip at 6700 i'd say it's around 500 or so. Those old factory figures are way off. My full weight challenger pulling 113 m...

My challenger has a max wedge style exhaust with caps and wing nuts, it take no more than a few minutes to uncork them at the track. On the sat at the nostalgias i slapped them back on and we went up to the local carvery for a meal. Mind you it was a little tricky in the rain with the slicks on. Lol

Good weekend as usual, sat weather was iffy so didn't run, sun ran a 12.31 pb in the morning but had a hesitation on launch, swapped my 950 on, the old carb off my dart just downjetted a couple on the back and ran a 11.86, then backed it up with a 11.83 so quite chuffed. Kiwi ran a cool 10.23 at 131...

I think for it to have any chance of sucess, Chris Evans will have to take it in a different direction, copying the old format will spell disaster. Part of JC'S appeal was his "Bananarama! you" attitude at anything diverse or PC. The BBC will be drooling at the thought of filling the other...

Yes, and the purple reindeer with socks instead of ears that appeared said not to worry about the wipers, as they're only asparagus.

Not very helpful, really.
You didn't by chance get the car from columbia ?

The only film car i like is the bullitt mustang, great colour for a fastback or coupe and very understated, no body alterations just wheels and colour. Perfect, just lose the 390 boat anchor and stick a small block stroker in.
