  9. “Dodge was a drag car ,this is a road racer.”

    Was the Dodge not street legal? Not a gear head here, so I have scant appreciation of this.

    If I want to go fast, it doesn’t have wheels, it has landing gear. That I can go on about.

  17. Too bad Sabine Schmitz passed away. She was the Queen of the Nurburgring. I wonder who is the best driver on the Ring is now that she passed?

    Back in 2005 Sabine worked for BMW where she gave a class on the Ring. She took the class out in some specialty set up 3 series for a 2 lap run and then a 5 lap run. I took the BMW class. She was very abrasive verebally about the classes driving skills but she had us driving the Ring a lot quicker than before.

  21. FUCK YOU FORD!

    Start Building PLENTIFUL basic 3/4 & 1 Ton Commercial VANS.
    They are WAY BEHIND and asking $8,000 above list with a 2 Year WAIT as the lots are stacking up with unwanted ELECTRIC SHITBOXES with NO RANGE!

    Transits are SHIT but the alternatives are SEVERELY WORSE.
    Mercedes – MONEY PITS
    Chev/GMC – new Direct Injection Gas – VALVE FOULING etc.
    &
    Toyota does not import a full size VAN to North America.

  23. A friend of mine, just having done an oil change and wiping off his hands hands has his freshly showered, flipflop clad, millennial sons snidely remark,”Da, one word…Uber”! Before the kid could walk away gave him two stripes across the side of his face and said one word, “Grease”!

  24. LBS, Thanks for the Cleveland Steamer on my Corn Flakes.

    Right now i got My E-250 van & My Backup 2011 F-150 p/u.

    I’m Good for a while but i like to plan 2-5 years AHEAD.

    So Far its looking Toyota Tundra 1/2ton CREW with 6.5 & Modular Cap for LESS than a VAN but WAY MORE COMFORT. IDGAF ultimately but Vans are the easiest.

  25. I’ve got the best car ever made, a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

    You can buy 75 crown vics for the price of 1 Mustang GTD. I’d totally take 75 Vics instead.

  26. I’m an old street racer. And the thing I notice about all these plastic race cars is the claims they make never pan out. Except for the Vette. I see these plastic gadget race cars making all kinds of noise on the boulevard, and they’re barely keeping up with granny in her micro mileage car. But the actually all sound like they’re ripping ass fault right out of the street. Case in point, a box stock 72 340 Duster vs a Hell Cat. I shortened the video so you wouldn’t kill yourself.

  27. Brad, how about Motorcycles? 1990 Honda 250 RR. 4 cylinder, Revs to 20,000 RPM, higher revs than an F1, higher than moto GP bikes. Pistons are pulling over 7500 Gs. Made for the street. You can go 25 MPH in a neighborhood and have everyone call the cops on you thinking you’ve gotta be doing 100. All of 45HP. lol. Actually a pretty sick bike, if you like sounds.

  28. @ ecp- I remember some Hondas: CB 750, CBX and the underappreciated 750 Nighthawk. Kerkers improved the exhaust tone.
    But chambers on an RD or my beloved Kawi 500 Triple sounded sweet to me.
    I can still smell that Bean Oil after all these years.

    AT 9:24 PM:
    That is not a “box stock” Duster, it is actually racing in the NHRA “Pure Stock” class. It is highly modified, but stock appearing, including under the hood. But still
    Impressive.

  33. Mecham and Barrett-Jackson auctions have a lot of the muscle cars from the 1960s and 1970s that sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. However, those which really sell at these levels have the biggest engine, the 4speed manual (numbers matching original engine and transmission), and virtually no miles. It is criminal to have these used as museum pieces with no driving.

  34. I’ve had a number of Fords that were great. A ’96 with the 4.9 and the 4 speed with OD, my ’67 F600 hi-lo axle, my ’83 NA diesel, and my wife and I had diesel 250s in the late 1990s and early 2000s back when diesel was cheaper than petrol.

    But I bought a 2006 mustang. What a fucking piece of shit.

  36. @LBS ~ went to the ’64 World’s Fair … twice (once w/ my Grandparents & once on a jr. high school trip) & at the Ford Pavillion you rode in a ’64 Mustang to take the tour … for a 12-year-old kid it was love at first sight!

    I know what’s in that car. MOPAR qualified their “Hemi Grind” cams qualified as stock for their small blocks. They lope. That cars got it’s suspension dialed. Hooks up. It still qualifies as stock. After all he is racing a big scary Hell Cat.
    I had a 70 340. My best quarter was 11:87. And it was breathing pretty hard. No laughing gas.

  40. I never had the need for speed. However, a couple of close friends are NHRA racers and they think it’s the greatest thing in the world. Different strokes for different folks.

  42. joe6pak, in my younger years I had some need for speed. But after I had done 196 (indicated) on a Duc 996, and done it twice in one afternoon, I was cured. Nothing happened. I just sat on the side of the road with Phil, who was on my other 996, and smoked a Camel. I think we had both come to the same conclusion, without ever even talking about it, that it was done. I didn’t ride a motorbike after Ian was born, and left all of that shit for the new homeowner when I moved. He got a good deal, I suspect (the new homeowner), he got 2 996s, a 748, a Monster, a Sport 1000, an RD-400, a Suzuki Boulevard, and a Honda 750.

  43. Erik,

    I was pulled over (and arrested) for 72 in a 40 on my Duc Desert Sled Scrambler 800, literally the slowest bike Ducati sells, tops out at 115 after pushing wide open for like 2 miles. It’s fun as heck to ride around though, such an awesome bike.

    Dirtbag cop says, “I know what these Ducatis are capable of and you’re getting the full ticket, you should be on a safe bike.” “Safe bike” means he was hinting at a Hogley Stevenson.

    I tried telling him that it’s a piddly 800 dual sport that most Hogley’s can actually beat. He wasn’t having it, it’s all in the name for him. Worthless cop.

    So I jumped on my Tiger Triumph 1200, it tops out at 147, but gets there like 3x faster than the scrambler.

    But sport bikes scare me cause I know damn well I’d push it to the limits, I don’t need that. lol.

  44. The 996s would go to 60 in a little under 3 seconds. Some say, “3.1”, some say “2.7”. Whatever. All I know is it was bang bang bang bang on the shifter. And those bikes had slipper clutches, which give a little more leeway if your clutch hand is a little out-of-sync.

    Anyway… your eyes see a straight flat road ahead of you, but closing on 200mph you get a clearer picture. Nothing is straight and flat. At nearly 300 feet a second it’s everything just to stay on that straight flat road.

    And shit like dropping the throttle is sure as taxes to smear you.

    I did it and I was cured. I can tell my son and his children about all the ball joints I did, and all the telco work I did, and all the other bullshit. I guess I needed to do it. But once it was done, it was done.

  45. You’ll still be able to see it in a “mustang fails” search. Eill be fun to see it crash, hopefully lightly.

    Some year they’ll figure out AWD is the way to go.

  48. @Brad
    When I rebuild my 73 challenger 340 (a few years away) I want to produce the same horsepower as the earlier models. Any suggestions (cam, valves, pistons)?
