Nottm is speed camera hell and where's there's no cameras there's speed bumps or congestion. You bumpkins dont realise how lucky you are.

camera,s most everywhere i go mick, you just need a first rate spotter its the other thing Lou is good at,,

You don`t need no spotter Dunc,

When I went oop there they are bloody everywhere, I couldnt live there, it was a real pain in the arrrs

Notice non of the mopar race boys are commenting on this awesome lttle machine, i think maybe they are about to slit their throats with a very sharp knife running a bazzilion cubic inches to not go this fast ,, i dont think anyone on this board has run this fast,,,,,,,,,, thats pitifull really,,

[Mick]

I appreciate vehicles of all kinds and yes it is very impressive but it's not apples to apples, as it weighs nothing, it has a big turbo and gas. Take the power adders off and show me how quick it is then.

Yes mick but its got a teeny weenie 4 pot 2 litre not 7-8 litres and 8 big fickoff pistons and its only 800lb lighter than the dart,,,,

[Mick]

I'm quite aware of that but it's also not 50 yr old technology and 800 lb is .8 of a second.
Unlike some mopar guys out there, i respect performance no matter what package it comes in, i may not want to own it but i do realise they are just as passionate about their cars as we are.

[Raminduction]

So I shouldnt post up videos of these 1000 bhp + 7 sec Golfs then ? .....

Prefer MOPAR anyday - been there and done the big turbo thing on many a car
but the new stuff lacks "soul", which is an important factor in a machine

[Mick]

Post what you like, i agree totally about the lack of soul and for every 1000hp golf there's someone running a 2000 hp chevy. He's probably got more money in his engine than i've got in my whole car.
Horses for courses !

I wonder how long a 1000hp engine like that will last? How many passes before the broom comes out

[Cannonball]

mick,,

You do realise a mopar block is pushing the boundaries much over 650 hp, especially a 440 or a stroker.

[Mick]

mick,,

[Pete]

A very good point, Mick; that many overlook - especially on 2 bolt cast Iron mains!!!

People also conveniently forget that forged pistons nearly go 1Kg per piston, but then proceed to buzz the hell out of the motor. That is a lot of metal trashing about on 40 year old Rods...............

Too true Dunc

Are you saying smallblock is the way to go ??

[Pete]

The Dart was running over 138 mph.................


..............and then it wasn't...........
