And..... You don't have to appease me. I'm just askin questions. You and I got into a pissin match before on old engine vs. gen 3. I don't give two ***** about your stuff, just like you don't give two ***** about my stuff. 20 grand got me 730 horse. I'm guessing at the very least 40 got you your 800 or 900 or whatever it was, if you used mostly new parts. I'm NOT ignorant on what it takes to buy a 400 plus cube W whatever head small block. The math don't jive for me. A possible extra 20 grand for only another 100 to 200 horse? All good in the hood boo boo. I don't have a car for my engine at the moment, so I'll bow out. Otherwise, I would whole heartedly accept your challenge.
Forget N/A or any of that BS, just make it a straight checkbook race. Whatever dollar amount '68cuda416 spent on his engine vs that same amount in a Gen III. Now that's fair.
Of course he won't agree, because you can buy a Gen III off the shelf that will beat his 416 and still have a ton of money left over. It's almost like he doesn't make the best decisions...
You put a lot of thought into that response, lol, hey guy I just threw out 10 miles as a way to show that it's not some unstreetable drag only type car......how far you wanna drive? LOL.....I don't have millions but if I did I would have 100 1972 and earlier muscle cars and zero modern day clunkers in my stable. Seems you have nothing to worry about though as my race/drive offer probably won't happen as all I was told was how much of a trailer queen POS one trick pony I had but yet when I offered up a sweet race against the modern marvel all I got was crickets, LOL, oh well probably for the best......and hate to come off as being arrogant but until someone proves me wrong, LOL, I still believe I have the baddest full weight, street strip car on this site and have offered up to be proven wrong by all the lovers of the platform that I think sucks ***.
Not kidding....mine isn't legal for the 1/4 mile and actually isn't legal for the 1/8th either but tracks are far less stringent on safety rules on an 1/8th mile since the speeds aren't so high.
Wait a minute…….I think I know what you mean…….you mean I don’t drive them with a cigarette in my mouth getting ashes all over the floor and burning holes in the seats, or maybe you mean I don’t drive them right after I came out of the woods deer hunting with my muddy boots on, or maybe you mean drive them at high rates of speed and intentionally hitting every huge pot hole you can see in the road, or just maybe you mean drive them to the truck pull and enter it in the unlimited class because how cool would that be……..uh yeah your right I don’t do those type things in my car, I treat it with respect since it is actually part of American history and I respect what men did at one point in time.
Wait, are those the only circumstances you think people drive their Mopars under?
That's like cartoon caricature stuff! I mean how ridiculous are you? Lots of people don't smoke. A real hunter wouldn't take a Mopar deer hunting because there's no good place to tie down a deer and real deer hunters actually plan on bringing something home. Most intelligent people try to avoid pot holes, but you know, they don't trailer their cars around because of them. Truck pull? Pretty sure you use trucks for that. Might be fun though if you had the ground clearance!
But yeah clearly that's what people who actually drive their Mopars do, because you have to marginalize it to make yourself seem normal.
Kinda like you just stay up at night, polishing your car with a cotton diaper and say "my precious" over and over again?
