Not as worthless as lipstick on a pig. Mopar muscle can be improved substantially with radial tires, lightweight rims, high quality shocks (Koni), bigger torsion bars, anti-sway bars and various chassis stiffening measures. It takes work and money but it isn't impossible.
John knows this. He also knows the OP's goal wasn't to turn vintage iron into something that competes with new iron. He's trolling again. No different than the behavior we saw in the unmoderated section.
Your mini-mind is showing
AGAIN. My point was, when you're done "improving" you still have a torsion bar, live axle pig. On subject, some of us like the appearance of the taller sidewalls, same continuing argument like RWL showing versus no. No winners, just personal opinion.
Two questions:
1. Have you ridden in or driven The Red Brick Valiant? If not, you have no basis for calling it a "torsion bar, live axle pig". I can tell you from personal experience that the car is no "pig", it is THE most exciting car I have ever owned.
2. If Mopars are (as you put it) "torsion bar, live axle pigs", why are you on a Mopar-specific forum?
1. Apples to oranges comparison...a car purpose built vs. changing wheels (the thread topic) to improve handling. BTW, my misunderstood reference to "pig" merely means, no matter how you doll it up, it's still a pig. How many scratch-built cars employ torsion bars, leaf springs and live axles?
2. For the same reason I'm on orphan car forums, I love 'em but recognize their limitations....IOW, what I like doesn't have to be beyond reproach.
