strange vehicle

sure, im well aware of the drag and funny car reasoning behind it...but they also pump 16 gallons of fuel in 1/4 mile....they need to get all that out...

Don't forget that this car was made for a movie, and a lot of the mods were fake or not necessary and just done for looks...looks that I admire quite a bit as well.

[" the frame much like drag racers do to their cars to handle the power that Jack thinks muscle cars can't have. (sorry, kid, I couldn't help it)

no no....i didnt say that they cant produce power, i know they can produce power... i just think that they are over-rated and far out-dated. and i prefer to get power out of something that can also take corners and stop as well as it can go forward

Cornering and stopping is for wusses! It's a pure adrenalin rush to get one of these 4000 pound musclecars into the triple digits when you are riding on skinny bias-belted tires (what's a speed rating??), non-power drum brakes (the brakes don't fade 'cause there ain't no brakes to start with), and a suspension lifted from the 50's (minimize that unspung weight.) What fun is it if the car can do everything better than the driver?

see, that doesnt appease me much for a daily driver...drag strip car...thats a different story, but thats not the discussion

Dude, on your way home today, stop at your local Blockbuster "Media" and rent The Road Warrior. Please, just do it!

I still prefer Mad max.

"Night..... Riiiideeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr!"

I always wanted to fight Jonny the Boy. Even as a 10 year old, I hated that pansy.

Well, I say Road Warrior only because I think Jack needs to be eased into it properly. Mad Max was pretty low budget and it is dated. I wouldn't want Jack thinking it is "too outdated" to even like. The Road Warrior however had a bigger budget and is a little more polished. Plus, its the Road Warrior version of the Falcon I will be building.
