Post by TW71 »

Different flavour than normal, I love this Charger, can almost feet the weight turning in to the corners.

Nice that, shame so many took him, not sure he was giving it all.

I saw the discs on it in one of the other videos in the workshop and they looked very small but its age related series.

Great effort those guys doing it and nice to hear and see a real car!

It actually handled quite well into the corners as we know these heavy old motors don't do corners....

Funnily enough I was reading some stuff about that car today,
http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/sho ... ost8256578

I think somewhere in there it mentions is only putting out around 400 hp in it's current form.

So being a HemiWedge it must have stock sized intake although maybe ported rather than say M/W size port?(looks like a M1 manifold fitted).

If this was a 71 with a Nascar race Hemi duel quads etc of that vintage with over 700 horse there may be fewer porches climbing over him on the straights (look in his rear view mirror on the video)

Very nice car but would be nice to see a 71 race spec to put some of those other cars in there right place!

400 hp would explain a lot although still a fair bit if rear wheel power.

Thanks for the link Blue.
