Other than the Dart that I am building now, my next ride will be a pump gas twin turbo Hemi, most likely in a new Challenger body. I will build along the lines of Larsens car, as that car is THE most impressive car on the planet, in my opinion. My goal is to go 6.99, around 200 mph, than put my 3 and 5 year old boys in it, and go for a cruise.

What would have to be done to a 69 Road Runner to run 200mph in the quarter, and still be 100% streetable? Basically like Larry Larson's Nova.
Larry's car is nothing more than a tube chassis car with a pair of turbo's with a license plate... he does have the lights and all the stuff to make it street legal... it is a nice car and it is pretty damn quiet ( as he went past us on the E-way at about 80 mph)

That's exactly what I have in mind. Was thinking a big inch Predator headed motor with twin 88 pro mod turbos. Similar to the "green machine".

I hope you can do it.
Just don't see it being done with a Mopar power plant..
I guess if you could do the 99Hemi @ Large cubic inches with Turbos, and a Lenco it could be possible. But would it be streetable like Larry's..
Have a great Christmas my friend.
Chris..

It's going to take aproximatly 2000 in a chassis that will harness that much HP plus survive couple thousand miles of street driving. Chassis will have to be custom. As far as body anything that is aerodynamic, my choice would be a Daytona Charger. Package needs to weigh 3000 with driver ready to run. I personally don't know why you could not meet those perimeters with a Mopar.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

if one were to block the grill (plexiglass behind it) and add a lower air dam (like those on a 69Z28 would that help with the air flow? Not saying it'd be as good as the nose cone and wing but it should help at those speeds. Or if one wanted to stay w/ a 69 Bee you could go this route...

Charger 500 would also be cool. I would want a Bbody car for the long wheelbase and the extra room to plumb and package all the hardware.

Larry's car is not what you call aerodynamic... its a nova which isnt much different than a dart/valiant

I don't know if a powerglide would hold up to the 2000 HP but with a 3.23 gear and a 32" tall tire you would be turning 2500 at 73.71 mph. The 3.23 gear will put the car through the lights at 6800+ rpm. That would be with no overdrive. Just some food for thought.

You are right Mr. P but if you are going to make a serious effort in a classic Mopar why not start with something that has a track record of running around 200 mph. Might save some headaches in the long run.
Very true... all I was saying is that Larry's car is not a areo type car... yes its like pushing a wall at those speeds so areo does help
