Amazing, but the Bob Johnson G-force 'Cuda still is my favorite.

Notice lack of mirrors...anything to help w/the poor aero on these old cars.

You can see the nose up attitude on the last pass. They might have gained a few more mph if they ditched the rear spoiler so it wasn't levering the nose up further.

Anyone got any pics of the suspension?

I don't mind the front valance.  Definitely allows for more brake cooling and I think for the intercooler.

I actually like the looks of conv340's 'Cuda much better:

Also the daytonas hit 200mph in 1969, so I dont see whats so wow about 200mph in todays technology.

Those were race cars only and look what they had to do to get them there. This is a presumably civilized street car on a platform that was never designed to go much above 150.

It's a beautiful car, but the fact that it's essentially a Viper wipes out a bit of the cool factor for me.

That was sweet. I've been up to 150 mph and that scared me a bit, I couldn't imagine 200+

That car is insane! The flipping windshield molding blew off!!! My wife said she needs one.

      If you look at the early race cars, the molding was fastened in with brackets !         :bigsmile:

Love or hate this car---it is awesome! If anyone has not tried fabrication, they should. This is not a body attached to a Viper chassis, it's a highly modified viper motor put into a complete one off chassis with a Cuda body. This car has something like 7500 hours into the build. Do the quick math, that's a lot of labor dollars without the hard costs.

Cool build by my book and I'd love to own this car or build this car if I had the talent an dollars! It's not for the restoration nut, bolt, color mark crowd for sure. But for the race, extreme pro touring crowd, it's a pinnacle of a great build or concept. Who wouldn't want their car to run with an Enzo?
