HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!!!

My nerves are freakin' fried.  What an unbelievable car.  She'll do 85 ALL DAY on a smooth road, 6th gear - two fingers on the wheel.  But hit a couple rough patches or some pavement repairs, whatever, and that thing will change lanes as if it were POSSESSED...  You go from relaxed to sweating bullets in less than a second!

But I made it!  No tickets, no pullovers, no accidents, only a few bug splatters.  :)  I'm going to get some quick detailer tomorrow, shine 'er up and snap some photos for you guys.

Awesome !!!
 they are very close to a real race car , kinda twitchy to drive , they definatly get attention & require constant attention while driving , but the performance is definatly there if you push them nearer the limits

It's obviously a big jump from a Stratus coupe and especially a Barracuda.  The steering is SO tight, the car is SO loud - it bumps and squeaks and rattles over EVERYTHING...  But Good Lord - blip it down to 4th gear and toe in on the throttle - she'll do 110 without even breaking a sweat!  I mean - bam - it's there.  Unbelievable how FAST this car goes FAST!!!

I have GOT to go to bed.  I am so drained.  Goodnight all - more pics soon.

Lol - don't think I wasn't tempted.  Once I got all the crap out of it (he had all the original parts in boxes and we crammed 'em all into the trunk and passenger seat!) I just sat in it listening to some CD's - it's actually pretty comfy in that cocoon of a car!

I feel much better though - just trying to think of a few good excuses to go for a drive.  :)  Pics coming soon!
