Goody, your deal is top notch. If we could all have your drive and do what you did to your cuda the world would be a better place. There's very little I'd change about my 'Cuda. The new Hemi, OD, EFI, A/C, etc. has made my car a dream to drive. Ready to run 100% regardless if it is 30° out or 105° out. Gas up and go!
I need a bit more horsepower to shake off a current 5.0 Mustang or high end Challenger...but that's okay. The bar for speed is extremely high.

Sold my Barracuda 9 months ago and bought a widebody Scat. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Fast, comfortable, reliable. Sold my satellite 5 months ago and put in a home generator. Another win-win.
The old iron had become dust collectors. The had become like an old die cast. Cool to tell people you had but just taking up space and sitting.
Nothing like hitting the button, ac blowing, and tapping the accelerator opening up nearly 500hp and blowing away any of the top performing cars mopar had rolling off the assembly line during the muscle era. I still like looking at the old cars but have no desire to pull anymore wrenches.

Ive dipped into the newer stuff, its not for me, stock or day 2, NOT PRO STREET OR A STREET RACE CAR.
I really dig the old cars (stock or day2) we could drive to work on a nice day, run 25 gallons of premium a night out playing and still stick to 3k mile oil changes and regular service.
I cant get past the cheap feeling of the new stuff, no matter how fast. Not saying that is the case but its my perception of things.
STOP POTATO HATE!
