Seriously though,
Some of the "baddest" mopars of all time, weren't necessarily the fastest.
I absolutely LOVED the ProStock Hemi Volare's and Aspens, even though they weren't competitive.
Bill Bagshaw's Redlight Bandit. Frank Lupo's SS/DA Red HemiCuda.
This car will always be "Bad" to me, even though it's ET's pale compared to some of the modern cars. Wedge power.

Good Call Billy..
One of my Favorites.. There is also a Black Wagon.. Don't know who owned it.. So. Cal special .. Prince Valiant..
Chris.. 
That is the Renteria Bros. AAgas Valiant one of the prettiest racecars I've ever laid eyes on. They run a BAE hemi and have won many races and championships. They used to run in Agas with a wedge and kicked ass. Their (pit)tow-vehicle is a bitchin black valiant wagon. These guys are from NoCal. Prince Valiant is a guy from SoCal I saw the car once at Riverside Raceway before it closed over 20 years ago. I was next to him in the staging lanes. To me he's kinda like a legenday figure. I've stumbled across a few pics of the car on the internet also.

I will say the SS/AH cars. Anything else that can run mid-8's will be a full chassis car, except some of those nutty 10.5 tire nitrous guys who usually finish every other pass on their roof.
Made lots of passes on juice and never hit the wall or been on my roof even one time, just sayin...

I think Deans ride meets most or all of the criteria. I've seen this car go in the 6's.

not Predetors and parts that are not truely Mopar factory based stuff
For those of us following along, what are the defining metrics of Mopar?
Since it was mentioned, the Predator design and similar other new go-faster stuff is now labeled as verboten.
Fill us all in, What decade of development technology do we draw the line at and consider as too new to label as acceptably kosher?
I guess I didn't get the official memo. What other closed minded and limiting definitions are we assigning to ourselves to these days?....
A fast Mopar is defined as what?
- The sheetmetal? ...
- The engine?
- ?
- ?
-
This thread even made the Predator pause for a moment and facepalm...
