My opinion:
The Street Hemi was and still is...eye candy....and myth. It was developed for Nascar and put in passenger cars to qualify for Nascar sanction. They were all de-tuned. Even in the late '60s, the word on the street was "don't worry about a Hemi...they're all dogs and out of tune...easy to beat". But still, they put fear in your heart when you looked at one. The size of those valve covers just said..."this must be one mean f'er".
Kind of like a half-cute blond with BIG ***s. Gives you that tingling sensation in your balls, and will cost you plenty, but when it's over it just didn't perform like your mind imagined.
It was that way then......and it's that way now.

Gee-- That's very erotic Verne---They both did make you smile--------------- https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Yeah Joe, except today they BOTH cost a LOT more.
I'm content with what I have...........on both counts.
(except I want that race car done)

Ran 2 Hemis on the street with a 396 in my '62. Beat them both. Daddy's boys with new muscle who never heard of a dwell/tach or a timing light.

But got my clock cleaned by a stock 440 six-pack! OK, so he had 46 cubes and about 300lbs advantage..... Still felt like crap after that.

You know what the "street" was like then Joe.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

She spelled it 'Palms' because she was ambidextrous.

(For the https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif guys, ambidextrous means "able to use both hands with equal ease.")

Then there was good ol' Pat McGroin. She was a real tiger too.

Better quit before I get scolded by one of the green-name guys. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

How's that tingling feeling now? I think pennicillin cures it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

The best I've run with my Charger was 12.77 @ 111 and backed it up with two 12.80s the same day -back in Bradenton, Florida in 1994 on an average 95 degree day. That was on street tires through the exhaust. I then retired it before I broke anything else (I blew out a freeze plug on the last run and watered down the track). That pistol grip Hurst shifter is a dangerous weapon: you break the console lid going into second gear and smash the dashboard going into third (If done properly).

At least now I have bragging rights to a "12-second car". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
