I can personally attest that formula_s was old enough to be driving (and was driving) during both 70s gas shortages...

Still, we are all waiting to hear what kind of Challenger R/T this is!

Going off gut instincts, its a modern rt.

That's what I'm thinkin. It's still fun and I'm 57. From time to time I have to let some puke have with it my Hemi Quad cab.

Hmmm, back in my day I think about 1/2 the races were rollers. When you were cruising an 8 lane road it happened. Course we normally slowed down to about 10-15mph and went.

HAHAHA.
I'm with you Sniper, I remember those lines, leaning over the bench seat in my parent's 72 Dart so I could see what was going on.

I BUSTED A NEW MUSTANG 0-60 OFF THE LINE! WITH MY RAM 8 SPEED ....THE GUY WAS SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT WITH THE CAM POPPING OFF AND I COULNDT RESIST... AND I CAN REMEMBER ASKING FOR A DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS .......................

I see an f body and an e body in that line of cars, and 3 Impala/Caprices.

Most people don't think a heavy ass truck will get moving.3.91s help. So they are caught off guard.

...is there no end to the vitriol and division on this website? Seems more and more every subject has to be debated to the nnthhh degree...it's getting old.

I remember buying pump premium at the local discount gas station for 16.9 cents including all the taxes in 1960 in Blythe CA, it was a lot cheaper the closer you got to L.A. also.
I think the Federal and CA state gas taxes per gallon back then was more than gas cost per gallon
I first started working in a gas station in 29 Palms ,CA in November of1961, gas was still under 20 cents a gallon for premium out in the middle of the Mojave desert back then

I've had 1500hp+ vipers, you don't want to dig race that as a driver. I just wasn't comfortable doing it. I generally did interstate pulls, empty lane between us and no traffic around. Only conditions I'd do it in. It's not for everyone, but I liked it. I also didn't pick on cars where that wasn't a fair fight, which 15 years ago, was most of them. Raced a lot of bikes. With the Hellcats I'll do those from a dig, roll or whatever someone wants as long as I have some spacing, nobody around, etc. I have a mclaren I drive quite a bit, almost never race it. Not because I don't want to, but because of how stupid other people are. I've never owned a car that caused as many people to act like complete dumbass's and almost kill people to try and race or pull up beside me. Never seen anything like it. I won't endorse that type of behavior.

This happened on UTG a few weeks ago. Dipshits showing off through the video came back towards the end to line up against a Charger Tony was tinkering on with different carbs. Skip to 25:02 if you just want to see the dumbassery.

Well, I don't know about that? I watched the video and those Guys in the new Charger seemed pretty harmless and decent enough car guys that were not only interested but fairly respectful to the '71. So he spun it out, BFD, he put on a better show than the 440 that couldn't even do a burnout. Guy with the '71 claimed traction was going to be a factor, lol, nope.

But, since you mention "Dipshits" and "dumbassery", you don't point out these two Stooges stopped on a busy highway to do some quarter mile runs? I wasn't very impressed and I bet the rest of the traffic was wondering what this MEATHEAD was doing. Just gives another reason to do a roll race instead of this disregard for anyone else using the road.

Furthermore, pass it on to Goofy Tony that that 440 might go a little faster with all 8 plugs hooked up. Is this where he lost 4 tenths, lol, because all the distributor wires appear to be hooked up at the beginning of the video?

Go ahead and count 'em, the number 8 cylinder on the passenger side isn't hooked up.
