He definitely exaggerated some parts of the story. That’s for sure, but nonetheless it’s a great narrative.

its funny how muscle car guys make fun of the imports with the big wings and the bright colors and all the loud noise and no go. when they are the ones who started those trendsOriginally posted by FerdinandI carry a cheap pressure gauge in my glovebox with which to manually check my tire pressures, but I keep forgetting that in the USA glovebox space is sacred as it is reserved exclusively for the purpose of storing handguns.

what about that plymouth with that huge wing. i believe it was called the road runner, way larger than any ricer wing ive ever seen. and what about all those bright green and plum crazy colored cars, or how about chevy small block 350 pushing 300 horses in a 6000 pound car?Originally posted by FerdinandI carry a cheap pressure gauge in my glovebox with which to manually check my tire pressures, but I keep forgetting that in the USA glovebox space is sacred as it is reserved exclusively for the purpose of storing handguns.

Those were all factory options and were very tasteful IMO. It's a lot different then paying 50 bucks for a cheap wing on ebay and taking your car to Maaco for a paint job.what about that plymouth with that huge wing. i believe it was called the road runner, way larger than any ricer wing ive ever seen. and what about all those bright green and plum crazy colored cars, or how about chevy small block 350 pushing 300 horses in a 6000 pound car?Comment

OK, since someone dragged this thread back from the dead, I am gonna berate your dumb kid ass for talking shit about the Daytona.what about that plymouth with that huge wing. i believe it was called the road runner, way larger than any ricer wing ive ever seen. and what about all those bright green and plum crazy colored cars, or how about chevy small block 350 pushing 300 horses in a 6000 pound car?
A true homologation special, the Daytona is a serious bad ass muthafucka.

A drag coefficient of just .28, better than 95% of all other cars made since. Was that just for goofy looks? No, the bitch is that they didn't sell. They are worth big bucks today. Here is one selling for $245,000.
These damn things were FAST, right off the showroom floor.
Yeah, that wing is rice. Sure. Really fucking fast rice.But, despite its 200 mph speed record (set by Buddy Baker on March 24, 1970, at 200.447 mph around Talladega.
The 1969 Dodge Daytona set a speed record that held for 13 years, to be broken by about 1 mph in 1983
and all of this shit went down long before you were born, bubba.Production: 1,920
440-4: 1,162
440+6: 665
Hemi: 93
Engines:
426 V8 Hemi 425 bhp @ 5000 rpm, 490 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm.
440 V8 375 bhp @ 4600 rpm, 480 lb-ft @ 3200 rpm.
Performance:
440/390: 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.26 seconds @ 103.7 mph.
426/415: 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, 1/4 mile in 13.50 seconds @ 105.0 mph
3 seconds at 6,000 RPM in park would scare the shit out of you.
I promise.
Beware the old skoo.
