I knew someone would go there........   :puke:   I dont call that much of anything, way worse than the bastardizing of the Charger name with the little front drivers of the 80's. I guess you can hand it to the Barracuda on that topic. It has so far escaped being used just as a name for some ugly import.


What if that ugly little import has a 440 and will run low 10's?  :bigsmile:

They dont count in my books for sure.  I am glad that the Barracuda or Cuda name has not been used like that or even close to something like that.    :poopoke:

I have a couple of Challengers and I cannot drive either one  :pullinghair:

Me too.  We should add "drivable" to the poll.

I thought about breaking this poll down into more categories.
But it would create a myriad of too many categories omitted that weren't considered. i.e. late Challenger, then A body Barracuda, running, non running. etc. 
The list could go on and on.

Keeping it simple I felt was the best choice.

Hey Mike,
Yep, my Sapporo was great on gas with the 5spd and that car never gave me any trouble. Was a fun car to drive. That was my wife's everyday car and I later sold it to my brother-in-law with 80k miles and he put another 50k or so on it.
I had a few Colt's & Arrow's too. Would love to find a Arrow GT again...

When I was in about 9th grade, I thought the Fire Arrow was about the coolest thing out there.  :drool:  :smilielol:









I grew out of it.   :misbehaving:  :faint:   :dupe:

I will tell all that with what was said to me in the other threads I will not ever buy a Challenger anymore.  I am only going to get another Cuda sometime.  I know I am hard headed but what was said to me really upset me and set me in this frame of mind.  I came close to getting off of this site because of it also.  I will never buy a new Challenger either.
