E-bodies vs imports video
« on: May 05, 2006 - 08:10:24 AM »
i found this cool vid on www.streetfire.net not sure if you guys have seen it but here it is

http://videos.streetfire.net/search/school+mopar/0/7EEEAD6A-AB12-474D-9E3F-EA2AE9954A7C.htm

new to  posting so if that link doesnt work just go to www.streetfire.net click on videos and then type in "old school mopar" in the search videos bar then click on the picture

cool to see lightweight turbo, nitrous, and AWD cars against heavier  N\A V8's
its only 1/8th mile but i think that was to save the porches and ricers some embarrassment :roflsmiley:

if you got time click the comments link beside the video so you read all the reasons why domestics suck and imports rule despite the fact they got thier a$$es handed to them

That's awesome!!!  Unfortunately, yes that site is Import-infested so all the responses are going to be to the Import's favor. ::) :screwy:  I love how that Sublime Green '70 Chally smokes everyone they show him racing, especially the Porsche!!!! :grinyes: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint:

Nice video!

It would be cool to see what would happen on a 1/4 mile track.

I dunno, but some of those imports are quick.  That white mitsu Eclipse looks quick.  It might be the GSX all wheel drive version so it gets decent traction off the line.

Drop all of those cars on a track with curves and the results would probably be slightly different. :)

Or give 'em a full tank of gas, put them in the middle of nowhere and see who can get closer to home before having to walk. :)
