Saw a young bloke today at Shell garage with a mahoosive Dodge Charger, 1970,s model, huge bonnet scoop, and twin exhausts like two hollowed out lamposts, petrol tank filller was under rear number plate which flipped up, so he's almost on knees to fill her up, don't know what engine these have but when he started her up it sounded like the petrol station exploding, immaculate example looked awesome, but just so wide and long!!:)

i did mean top end, its something like 110 is it not?
R32
09-08-07, 20:47
The one in my pic 150+ 318cui 115-120mph 383 standard 125-130 440 a bit slower 125mph but with a few mods you can add 20mph to all but they are all about getting off the line quick;) ITS ALL ABOUT MUSCLE

Not the one i saw in Leeds city centre, initial torque was monsterous and it sounded AMAZING.

My mate at work has 2 chargers and a plymouth.

The white one is his proper toy (8.1 Hemi IIRC soon to be supercharged), and the orange one is waiting to be done up.

The Plymouth is just a run-around

I think the engines look crap, even for v8's look like giant airfilters on top of an egg box, but still the one i saw looked awesome and sounded awesome:)
