That's one beautiful Mopar. You did a great job driving and maintaining control. I think you might have better success if you lower those wheelie bars. The sooner those front tires are back on the ground, the sooner you can steer again which will prevent you from getting too far off center and having to let off. It would also help minimize lifting and bouncing which means better acceleration and faster ET's. Great job and I love that B5 blue!

I loved seeing vintage muscle like this Cuda on the track back in the eighties when they were frequently still seen. Problem is now that cars like the Hemi Cuda have shot up into the stratosphere in terms of value, you are hard pressed to see one running quarter miles like this in 2018. I can't blame the owners of cars like this though, if you own one nowadays, its almost an investment or retirement fund, your talking serious cash so you want to be careful with it.

@starbattles17 жыл бұрын
Ass end is jacked up too high as well. Needs to have the tubs reworked and get the ass down lower. Maybe he didn't want to do so much cutting to the body. But when he one day hits a wall he'll wish he had. If you watch close when the ass squats there is a spring board action that lifts the front. Better shocks and lower stance will solve that. Moving the bars up one hole is a good start. Get racing bump stops for it to sit down on at full squat. WHeelies are fun and look cool but eventually they lead to breaking shit or hitting walls.

That's a badass machine right there and looks soooo much better than any ricer and will still be admired and around in 100yrs, unlike the plastic toy carz. They will be a recycled coke cans and someone's laptop or toilet seat for all of its plastic which is about 90 %, so it will be good for lots of shitters hahaha. Most importantly that good old Detroit iron has so much incredible personality and a continuous long lasting history with many generations that absolutely love these cars, and I am one of them and had my son around these rides since he was a little guy. It goes pretty deep and when he was just a toddler, his mom would put him in the front seat of the 70 Plymouth Roadrunner that I was restoring so that he could play as he watched me work. So we have a lot of memories that are priceless and were centered around these rides, so there's much more to their story that the ricer guys will never possibly comprehend or understand. The others have no soul or personality and pretty much all basically look the same, but these awesome V8 powered machines are true drag cars with American spirit and represent the greatest generation to ever live as far as ingenuity, strength and productivity goes anyways...its the way it is and just sayin
