    Cars don't do much for me these days the new ones that is.

    My first driving was in a relative's lap with his Dodge Charger RT 6 pack he got at 7 years old myself, I did ok keeping it in lane for a few miles. The top end was approx 150 but best we could do was only about 90 after launch down the old school roadway half a mile. The pressure on my chest would not let up and I learned to not be scared. I loved it. He wrapped same around a tree. That was that.

    I had a old Ford Torino GT 71 with the 351, headers, dual pump 650 holley, high rise manifold, cast heads for a touch more compression reworked engine guts and straight pipe on glass packs backed by the same micheling tires used by the state police on sway bars fore and aft and nitrogen gas shocks all around. Top end on a 50 degree night was around 140 and in a summer day was 131 or so. C4 transmission.

    We were a group of classic cars in those days. Sometimes we raced. 35 miles between two towns in about 10 to 14 minutes flat on back roads.

    A winter ruined the entire wiring system on that car I got rid of it. Thinking back I should have kept it. But that's life.

    In Little Rock at the auction house I would drive just about every single car made post 2005 for the retail and used markets, sometimes we have driven special vehicles and learned what they can do as long I did not get caught doing so. I learned also which vehicles are truly ####. Thank god.

    That's all. Enjoy your cars, whatever they may be.

    B5 Blue Charger.
    Charger is best. Scat Pack is almost 500 HP, around $42K.
    Chevy still cheaper.
    They putting the 650HP vette motor in it as well. But will carry big price tag like the hell kitty.
    I had two different 70 Cuda's. If they made a new Cuda, I'd say that.
    For the money, you can get yourself a really nice Cadillac, maybe even a girlfriend with the caddy. ;)

    Currently saving for that Mustang I mentioned. Only got about five bills towards it, but saving, nonetheless. And by "bills", I mean singles. Lol

    Get one while you can. FCA is pulling the plug on the Viper. 2017 model year will be its swan song.

    They have pure unmarked Chargers too. Saw one that's dark gray lol. Best of luck seeing that sitting under an overpass.
