This will make you feel better:
650 HP > 100 kmph / 4.7 sec Lot of drink fuel range less 200mile :eek: 1000 HP> 100 kmph/ 3 sec Best electric motor range about 400 mile :p Thats very tricky!!!
I have a friend that collects STANGS he has a pair of 67 K/R Shelbys one auto and one stick Both black. His son drives the new s/c Shelby to school. I had the opp to help restore several drivetrain parts WOW and ive driven a real A/C Cobra very cool but i felt like i could rip the steering wheel off when i turned it.....

Hmmm, top 3 cars I've had that I'd like to have back-

1970 454 LS-6 Chevelle SS, M22 4spd.

1970 396 L-78 Chevelle SS M22 4spd.

1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 sixpack Hemi crashbox 4 spd.

All were born as factory heavy muscle cars (no clones) and all in pristine condition when I had them. And of course all were tweaked & tuned to the max. I sure miss those days......... :(
 
'73 Cuda with a'70 440 sixpack bottom end '67 closed chamber heads Edlebrock intake with a single 750 holley racer brown cam 727 torqueflight/3000 rpm stall. With 9" slicks it would lift the front tires about a foot on launch,with street tires I could stand on it at 40 mph and smoke the tires. These days I drive a Neon!...but at least it's a SRT-4. 2.4L turbo.

Don I didn't know you had a charger too. Jeeze

That is a beautiful Chevelle SS Ray!!! Very clean!

I have a 66 in the works (wish I had some pics) and I have this.... I was looking for an old shoebox when I ran across it and couldn't pass it up. It is a 1970 SS454 El Camino (Wish it was a Chevelle) with a cowl induction hood that works. I have won a couple of awards with it, but unfortunately, I can not take the credit for the resto as I bought it that way.

Hey, a topic I feel qualified to chime in on!! There is something about Wisconsin country boys, beer, and muscle cars that go together.... never owned Mopar though always wanted a Cuda. Favorite 3 cars:

#1 '73 Javelin AMX - 4 speed, 4 barrel, posi, 4.11 w/custom cam, lifters, headers etc. Car would get all 4 gears solidly on those old bias-ply tires! :D Last time I saw the car, I was going to jail for draggin in downtown Green Bay, Wi.... I went 1 way, the car went the other... never got 'er out of the pound (was in college at the time - no $$$).

#2 '66 Cutlass (pulled out the stock 6 cyl) and dropped a 425 V-8 out of a Vista Cruiser stationwagon :lol: - wanted to go 455 but the 425 was the biggest engine that would fit.

#3 '66 Mustang (My first car - only $900 in 1982!) w/302 BOSS and 4 speed, pistol grip door handles (was told that was a California edition thing???). I bought the car used. Previous owner had switched from 3peed auto to 4 speed manual but didnt change the gears in the diff.... and I wasnt told. Went thru 3 clutches in 1 summer :eek: trying (unsuccessfully) to do burn outs. However the car would go 50mph in 1st gear, 90 in second, 3rd 110ish and 4th never found out - got scared at w/140mph speedo buried in a rust bucket w/worn out shocks and springs :eek: :lol: Parents sold for that one on me for $300 when I racked up a slew of speeding tickets and ended up in jail... ah the good ol days! :huh:
 
PS Good for you GRIM.... Glad to see there is someone else who remembers there was more than the Big 3 out there that were FUN... when I lost my AMX I was pullin on a souped up 383 69 charger and I had a friend w/me - he didnt!!
 
I've had my 69 Vette for about 20 years now. 427 4 spd. w/ side pipes. No A/C no power brakes and no power steering. The only thing makin power is the 427 :D

Bought it from the local Chevy dealer who took it on trade and didn't want to screw with the issues it had. It needed a clutch, had an electrical issue and an overheating problem. I paid $4000 for it with 60,000 original miles on it.

Put a clutch in it, noticed that some idiot had the thermostat in up side down and the same idiot had a ground wire to the fiberglass. All easy fixes and I still have the car today. But it's been in the barn,up on jack stands and covered for the last 10 years.
 
This will make you feel better:
Sweet! is that the real deal...or a reproduction? A friend of mine built a Superformance AC repro. It even has the right 427 with webers under the hood.
Its a Kirkham kit car a friend built up for his reitrement gift to himself. I work for a fuel injection company (TWM Induction) which made injection kit an did the tuning. A family friend Lynn Park owns several of the real things including one 289 FIA Cobra which he still races pretty hard. At one time he owned a pristine Daytona coupe. I think he is down to six authetic cobras now. Life is hard!
