Fuel lines are half-inch .........
Wide open, it burns 1.5 gallons of fuel per minute on it's way to 199MPH ........ "Normal" driving gets you 20MPG. Anybody know any similar stats on other factory muscle/sports cars? |
|
I know my buddy that picked one up got pulled over the 2nd day he owned it.
I bet that happens a lot to other high end cars as well. |

I'm a driver for a large dealership in town. I had to drive to Raleigh to get a guy to sign his lease agreement on a Dodge Hellcat. It was a 2016 used with 30k on it. His lease payment was $978 a month.

The Boss 429 holds the record as having the largest hood scoop on a factory production car. (until we get a good comparison to the Challenger Demon which may be bigger)
The 1996 Camaro SS holds the record for having the most magazine coverage for a newly released car (it was on the cover of over 20 major publications) The 1989 Turbo Trans Am was the fastest post muscle car era GM performance car until the LS1 came out running low low 13s when everything else was in the 14s including the Corvette. The 1969 Charger Daytona was the first stock bodied car to break the 200mph barrier. |

Also, new engine only retains 9% of previous hemi parts ...... 91% redesigned .................

View Quote I worked at a Pontiac dealer back then and we received two of them, one had the hood stuck closed because of the paint on the underside of the hood and when they finally got it open big chunks of paint were stuck to all the rubber bumpers. It had to be like that when it left the company that final assembly was outsourced to. The other one ran like crap, spent tons of time in the service dept even after it was sold. |

The 1989 Trans Am's also had some of the worst quality control in a new car that I have seen.

The 1967 Shelby Mustangs utilized Mercury Cougar tail lights, while the 1968 models used lights from the ’66 Thunderbird.

You can be ticketed here for "demonstration of power". Vague enough that there is a law for how quick you are. It was originally intended for squeeling tires when the light turned green. Brought to you by the same city that made it a crime for "unnecessary repetitive driving" because high school kids "cruised the avenue". View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Swapped the motor with a accura motor and a few add ons. total price when done, $6000 and he has been beating lambos, hell cats and an str10. all that money and a hell cat cant beat a civic at 1/4 the cost.

My 2001 Damon Intruder 369 RV (37' long) has tail lights from a 1996 Ford Ranger.
We hired a guy to change out the axle seals and he backed into a pole coming out of his barn. After some research he figured out the 96 Ranger uses the same tail lights. But I digress, back to discussing muscle cars. |

How many Hellcats are put away as an investment? How many are driven daily?
It seems that many classic cars from the sixties rusted out or were beat to death by teens until the car would wrap around a tree and kill the teen. |

The 1976 Corvette's base engine was rated at 165 HP. It was a dark time in America.
On a more positive note, the 2017 Corvette base engine is rated at 455 HP and optional engines are up to 650 HP; let the good times roll! |

This 1969 dodge is a stretch to say stock bodied. It was a race car. It was massaged on a lot of levels . The first car to hit 200 was a 1 of 1 in a time with almost no road rules. A real stock production car you have to wait for the F40 View Quote |

Let me correct you there. The 1969 Charger Daytona - ( in this case, a Charger 500 with the Daytona pieces bolted on - it had been a press car before being stolen and stripped. When recovered, it was given to Chrysler Engineering and became the #88 high speed development mule for the Daytona stock car program....) - was the FIRST car of ANY KIND to exceed 200 mph on a closed course.

I missed a shift and still crushed him. He was so pissed he was yelling and throwing things. That was my first time on the "bought" side of the built vs bought argument. Felt good. Felt real good. I added some shit later. IIRC, the vette got the LS a year or so before the F body? |
