Since times always change ..
What makes you take a 2nd look

sleeper look ...basic stuff running kind of fast ?

Or does the current 10.5 tire thing excite you ?

what about wild paint schemes , does that make you look twice ?


Or should every car always have BIG rear TIRES !


I'm not talking about any tube chassis stuff
or fiberglass .. Real Mopar 80% race 20% street
maybe

the small tire, heads up cars are my favorite. True 10.5 and the 10.5W guys, they have that street car theme going for em and all that hp through those tires!! Take some serious tuning and driving skill to run one of those cars, and I appreciate that, thats why they're my favorite!

I have to agree with everyone...I love a sleeper! My favorites are cars that look near bone stock except for fat tires in the back.

Different things impress different people....but here's what brings a smile to my face:

Ron Silva's old Demon. When it putted by in the pit area you would think..."look at the nice resto, probably a 13 sec car".... and then it would rip a high nine like nobody's business...with a wild small block.

Bondo Bobs Demon. Nice, clean, through the mufflers.....WOW!

My dads Duster. Lots of ideas based on the above two....just not in the grand style. Ours is race car and it show that, but it's beginning to come together. Running low 10's at a new 134.81 mph as of an hour ago or so....W5 340 through the exhaust.

Jesse's (440w8) 69 Dart....again, another wild small block. A race car like ours, but everything works together and it just plain GOES!!

No offense to anybody who's done it, but I don't like the pro/street look at all. If guys are running in the 6's on 10.5's, you don't need a set of 16x32's.

Anything that can run in the 9's or better after being driven to the track gets my respect, too.

Well for me any well put together car gets my attention. To me quality speaks volumes. Since you did say DRAG cars I suppose my favorite types of cars are found in Comp and Super Stock. Most of the cars in these classes are first class all the way.

But I sure do dig the 10.5 cars as well..

It's all personal, but 63-65 B-bodies and 68-ish A cars don't look right without at least 14X32's to me.

On paint, I like simple. One or two colors. Of these with the swirls,curls, stripes, flames, splashes etc., I like maybe 5%. Woo's SS/AH is a perfect example of the paint working with the shape of the car. A lot of them don't in my opinion. But, opinion is all it is.

I love the factory look. Like the FAST and Pure Stock cars and the factory hot rods like Max Wedges. Thats what I like the best but I do like most any Mopar. Ron

Cars like 383's 63 and just about anything from the mid 60s with a big block in it!

Someday I would like to have one!

Looks like , what most people (so far) would like

small tire , non flashy paint , sleeper look, non traditional body style ?

How fast would it need to be .. Now, keep in mind
faster it is, more safety rules
roll cage, etc.
