About this car? - 08/14/09 07:18 AM

Do anyone know something about this car. Owner sended me pictures ans story as well, but if someone knows more about this car then I really like to hear. From pics what he sended, I would say that it`s well builded piece, nice welding, clean works etc.
Iam having plan to buy this roller because I afraid it going to be totally cheaper than to backhalf my Charger and I afraid that I never gonna make it light enough for my R5/P7 and 727 combo
All kind of help,tips is welcome!

Thanks!

That is MegaDart's car. I have seen in in person when he lived in NY. It's a nice car.

It had a different FE when I saw it.

Good! Problem is that I live in Europa and at east coast I have no one to go and check it out. So it would be like "buying something in dark" if I dont have any information. Pictures is pictures, reality is a bit different story in most times. Hopefully not in this case but you never know...
I know people from our country and also from Finland who bought race motors from racingjunk.com and when it finally arrived, they were total junk. One guy bought promod motor for over 30.000 dollars from that place and got bunch of old iron!
So attention and safety first

Yup....My buddy Wayne's Dart....we pit and race together quite a bit....the car is a quality piece and IMHO worth more than the asking price...I think I have some video of it....will have to look.

Wayne used to live in Ct.,not Ny. He is a very upstanding and HONEST guy!!! I know him pretty well,the yellow duster that he had and sold to RONP,he bought from my dad and I.

I also was up at LVD with him a few times and helped him around the pits with his car. The dart is VERY well built!!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!!

Wayne dont have JUNK!!!!

I never saw the car in person, nor have I ever met Wayne in person. However, I have seen him on this board for several years and consider him to be one of my long time Moparts buddies. I would not ever hesitate to buy something from him if I needed what he was selling. The Dart looks awesome and I know he has done really well racing it. One of a kind for sure and I know its a screamin deal

I would have zero worries about buying anything from him. As said before, his stuff is all done right and top notch. Anything i have bought from him in the past was as described and in working order. Good luck on the deal, hope you get a new toy

Thanks a lot Rick of this video and thanks to everyone here who told good and honest word about Wayne. It gave me lot of confidence.
Iam right now selling my `74 Charger and hope to find buyier soon. I cant promice anything yet BUT if my Charger is sold, Iam pretty sure we gonna have deal with Wayne. As I just bought R5/P7 motor from Rick what i hope to get end of this month as he promiced and some other parts ( tranny, converter etc.) then I just dont have such a "free money" for buying this roller right now...sad but I dont have good hand in lottery and I also Iam too chicken to rob the bank LOL
So step by step

Thanks again to everyone

Re: About this car? - 08/15/09 01:30 PM

I have seen the car in person also, and it is a very nice car.
Wayne is a great guy and has helped me out plenty of times!!!
He won a decent amount in that car, that says alot!!!

Didn't Frank Berard of F&R do some work on the car?

Re: About this car? - 08/16/09 02:47 PM

Iam really considering it to be honest. Just cant predict how this combo ( this Dart and R5/P7 motor )is going to work...?
I need to think about that it`s going to "outlaw" class here in Estonia and best guy hits low 9 seconds all day long. So fact is that no one is going to buy car ( roller ), motor, tranny etc. to be second or third place guy, right

Rick told that my R5 made 845hp and 555TQ (750Nm) without NOS and this motor is capable to around 200-250hp shot. So never know where whole combo may take me. Most what I afraid of is low torque...

not too hard to figure out. my 422ci sbm made 741hp and ran 9.08 @ 149, you should have a contender without the NOS.

thanks for all the kind words guys, really I am flattered.

Hi Wayne!
Do you also know what was your 422cid torque numbers? As it`s stroker then I belive you had much more torque that my 358cid R5/P7 make?
Hp is hp but most what Iam afraid of it torque to get this car moveing from start.
Remeber we dont have special race tracks here and also we dont use "glue" on track. So its regular old airfield. You may take a look from this vid clip what we took yesterday in test day ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZSaR-Avc_A )
Best outlaw car with 4link suspension got 1.35 sec 60` time ( powered by BBC )

Re: About this car? - 08/16/09 05:36 PM

IIRC torque was 630lbft. as for traction this car will hook in the mud, delay the NOS 1-2 secs then let'er rip!!
