It’s funny how these little bitty four bangers can top out at 130 mph and the turbo Trans Am can only do 116 mph😆

I'm a huge fan of the Dodge Shelby cars. I have 2 Charger GLH's, 1 Charger GLHS. 1 Omni GLH, 2 Omni GLHS's, 1 Shelby Lancer, 1 CSX-VNT, 1 CSX, and 2 Daytona CS's. I also have 2 Dodge Spirit RT's. I started collecting them after I got my first Charger GLHS when I got out of the Army in 1992. I've been asked to sell them so many times, but I never will.

Of the LM002, Mike Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegar also had one. So did Sadham Hussein. When America invaded Iraq they found two of them at one of Saddams palaces. The General overseeing one of the brigades that found them had them transported out to the dessert and lobbed artillery at them til they were annihilated.

You in America had absolute dire cars in the 80s and 90s. You had these 5.0 V8s that made less HP than little 2.0 4 cylinder engines from Europe and japan. Your cars were based on 1960s tech but detuned for some reason.

@chriskeith4224 күн бұрын
Yeah, what a jip. The SVO with a bleeder in the waste gate control hose was an easy way to get 25 psi of boost. It was legit fast. A guy that worked for my brother had one. I stuck an adjustable bleeder from a fish tank bubbler (I know, but it worked) and set it for 25 psi. It would make 30 psi! We played in it all over town. I told him to close the bleeder b4 he hit the interstate going home, he didn't, blew the head gasket out from under both sides of the head! It was a late night, and he didn't make it home until the a.m., but they helped me get a new one in it's place, and I took my bubbler valve off so his dumba$$ would have a chance to actually make it home.
