Well my love is MoPars.
I bought myself a 1970 Dodge Challenger at the age of 17. My dad also has a 1972 Challenger, as well as a Dodge Dart Racecar. Anyone else have a love/interest in these?
Some pictures.

I'm a huge fan of Mopar muscle, especially Challengers.
I would absolutely love to own a 1970 Challenger R/T, but given that the early model years attract a premium I think I'll be putting it on the back burner until my lottery numbers come up!
Did contemplate buying a Dodge Polara a couple of years back, but realised it sadly wasn't going to be a practial proposition.

They are getting a lot cheaper at the moment.
Heres a link to one. Obviously this isnt suitable for the street. But for the price it is a bargain.
I hope you can see the link on this site. this is the site to be on if you love mopars.

Not about top speed, about accelaration.
Mine has done 12.9 on a 1/4 mile. That was without Nitrous.
The purple racecar in the pic, is predicted to do a 10.5 1/4 mile. No No2, doesn't mean we wont use it

Well that was its first ever race meet, ran low dead 12's then by the end of the meet realised it was only firing on 7 cylinders! Fixed it and only had time for one run and managed an 11.3. Next race meet is September 18th weekend. Will be hitting it with Nos i think
