Slowest damn hemi car I ever had: 14.05 @ 103 mph (The real reason I sold it!)

if you came off the line like that,14.05 is flying.

Nope, just warming the tires up.
I tried rolling it out slow, flashing the converter, and just plain stompin' the gas, and it just didn't want to play nice and turn a good time. So I sold it and bought a Ferrari.

I thought I was so smart selling an old Plymouth and buying an exoticar with the money. Boy was I wrong! I sold the Ferrari 6 months later and bought the 70 R/T SE hemi Charger I still have, a factory 68 hemi Dart race car with an NOS 426 hemi engine, and a 1971 440 six-barrel automatic cuda ragtop (now owned by Steve Juliano). So, I guess I came out ahead (for that period of time back in the late 1980s)

Just got my copy today. $21.92 at www.OverStock.com. Great book!

Just have one correction on the old yellow cuda chapter: the color was Lemon Twist, not Curious Yellow. Other than that glaring defect , it was fun to read up on my Forest Gump moment in musclecar history.

So Colin, now that you did the book on 7-figure cars, when are you going to do the next book on 6-figure cars? (at least while they are still worth 6 figures )

I think we could fill up a heck of a book with all the members cars here on the site. I would be happy to volunteer a car or two.

I want to thank you for your wonderful, unsolicited book review. Colin and I worked hard to ensure that it was correct, interesting and wouldn't waste anyones time. Your review, coming from someone deep in the hobby means far more than from a "civilian". Thank you again. David Newhardt
