The funny thing is, after driving my dad's new SRT8, I wonder if this is
something I even want to bother with. And then there is the Challenger
coming out in 2008. It seems like cars are coming back around, the only
problem is the black boxes and the OBDII. It would be hard to get the
380SE 5.0euro to do a 13sec 1/4. I wonder...how hard would it be to just
put a big block V8 in here? Ignition components and carbs wouldn't be
too expensive, neither would the exhaust manifold and all that stuff
since everything is so simple. Hmmm...has anybody on the list ever given
thought to this?
