I am very satisfied with how it handles. Felt very stable, even at that speed.
Ran into the rev limiter (5500 rpm) of my MSD, so this 135/140mph was the max.
It's a normal 4 speed with a Keisler hydraulic clutch and 3.23 gears.

Hey Roland.  What size tires and rims do you have.  Also whats the problem with poly bushings.  And what kind are you using.  Are the rear leaf springs just XHD's.  I'm getting my car painted now and it's going to be black.  I planned on putting the T/A spoilers front and back on mainly for the looks as we don't a Autobon here in Florida.

...What size tires and rims do you have...

Front: American Racing AR500, 17x7 ET 0 BS 4 rims with Falken FK-452, 235/45-17 tires.
Rear: American Racing AR500, 17x9,5 ET 8 BS 5,5 rims with Falken FK-452, 275/40-17 tires.

...Also whats the problem with poly bushings.  And what kind are you using...

Poly bushing are stiffer than rubber bushings, so better handling, less comfort (that's the theory)
I've rubber bushings but are happy with the handling, you can see me bouncing in my chair, so suspencion is stiff enough ;-)

...Are the rear leaf springs just XHD's...

I have 6 leafs, don't know if that is XHD.

I just saw the 3 videos!  They are great! Love how the car takes off at the beginning of Pale Ride.  Reminds me of Mad Max.

Tha car sounds terrific!  What type of mufflers are you running?  :clueless: Love the Xhaust video!

I'm clueless too about the mufflers. Some custom made sh*tty thingy.
The reason why those videos sound so rough is beacuse I mount the external mic on the license plate, so between the exhausts. The real sound is very modest if I compare it to the sound of other Mopars.
I have now TTI headers and want to go for X pipes and other mufflers, for better flow (and sound  8))

Thx for all the compliments. Now I know that I don't make those videos to just please myself.
Perhaps a nice opportunity to give an overview of where you can see what stuff:
Sites:
www.urd1.nl: 'arty' photos and videos, and music
www.madrtdam.nl: under construction (platform for me and 3 Rotterdam-based Mopar buddies with 71 Roadrunner and 68 and 69 Charger

YouTube channels:
URD1nl: 'arty' videos, same as on my URD1 site
madRTdam: videos of (some of) the 4 mad RT'dam Mopars (R'dam is a common abbreviation of Rotterdam)
66PaleRider: not so arty Challenger videos and live concert registrations

I noticed your instrument panel in the dash doesn't look stock.  Is that something you fabricated.
