The guy in a nice Mid/late 2000's M5, tastefully modded exterior wise, cut in front of my getting on the freeway, his mistake was thinking he'd lose me on the clear 360degree on ramp. I was right on his bumper as we exited the on ramp onto the freeway. Which then turned into dragrace onto the clear freeway straight away, i pulled 3 car lengths on him when he shifted, I hit 4th and watched him disappear!


Is the spoiler rigid? If so, does it come off easily for when you put the car on a trailer?

Don't feel bad about people not getting what the car is about. I had Mopar people walk right by it at a Mopar show. It's not shiny, and it's not a Barracuda, so it doesn't grab most people's attention.

I only wish I had open roads to drive it on when I had it. Way too congested where I live for those sort of shenanigans.


'67 is an abbreviation of 1967
67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet
They are not interchangeable.

Apologies for revving an old thread...but that made my morning! Too cool, man. Showing-up BMW M cars has got to be one of driving's greatest pleasures, especially in a car like the Valiant.

Any progress since May?

This car was mentioned in a discussion over on the "corners are best" section and I had to read up. This thing is just too cool for words.
