Dog - that is an awesome shot. How would you describe the performance of a 429 SCJ. Any comparables. What were its strengths/weaknesses.

Thanks!

Sam I traded a hemi Road Runner in on it, so it was a little tamer - but not by much. It was a strong running car - didn't take much crap from anyone on the street - but was plush and extremely comfortable especially by muscle car standards.
The thing I remember most about it was, I was living in a trailer in Chattahoochee, Ga. while stationed at Ft. Benning. There was a four lane road that ran between the two places that had a median about an 1/8 mile wide and at one point, you could see 3 miles of road going down then up again in front of you. It was common practice to run this section of road flat out - the speedo topped out at 120 and would disappear from sight at that point, then the fuel and temp gauges mounted below it would bounce back and forth so rapidly you'd swear they would never work again!
Oh to be young and fearless!!
