yes i hated the fact i sold that car, but 3 things bugged me
first for a touted quick car it felt real lame
2nd under the hood was a disgrace considering the car was mint everywhere else when you opened the hood you could have been looking at another car.
3 it Bananarama! water in through the front into the car somewhere,

still a great looker though,,,

I'm with Dunc on this one....

It certainly wasn't quick.
Gorgeous looking car though. The toughest looking Mopar in the UK.
Nice driver too, the suspension mods make this Mopar steer through the bends.

Almost the perfect Mopar.

But the main thing that got to me was under the hood was a mess, the wiring had been hidden, and the Fender Tag was missing.

The lack of a Fender Tag really peed me off.
Because of that I couldn't live with it, so it had to go.
Some of you will say it doesn't matter.
Well it does on an R/T.
