    Out For A Ride
    « on: July 14, 2012 - 04:33:11 PM »
    Went out for a ride the other day, decided to get some pictures of the cars together. First time we really went out cruising with the AAR since we got it back, had some metal work redone and complete repaint. Unfortunately, the AAR jumped my challenger for priority at the shop, so the ebodys aren't back together yet  :'(.

    The cars looks great!  :thumbsup:

    Maybe it's the angle but the Cuda looks bigger than the Charger for some reason.  Is it?  I don't think this is the first time I thooght this with the E vs B bodies...  :dunno:

    Thanks, and I agree about the Cuda looking wider than the Charger in the second picture. It's obvious having the cars next to each other that the Charger is longer but it must be the angle of the charger not matching the Cuda for the second picture making the Cuda appear wider.

    Here's the specifications of the cars if you were wondering,
    1970Cuda-
    Wheelbase: 108 in
    Width: 74.9 in
    Length: 186.7 in

    1969Charger-
    Wheelbase: 117 in
    Width: 76.7 in
    Length: 207.9 in

    Those are two fine examples, to be sure! I like the AAR , but that big B body has always had an allure to it, for me. You're a lucky guy, enjoy!  :2thumbs:

    Nice pair........M's
    The AAR looks like it is sitting higher on torsion bars and the tires look like 275's  on rear.
