    yes Jess Neal has made  a real killer of a car ,some mods there but it has to have some use of stock parts to keep with in certain rules so the car is a nice blend or aftermarket parts as well as ma mopars components

    Geeze, 150mph?!?!  I would imagine it's a wee bit scary at 150mph in any car, but in these E-bodies?  :22yikes:

    I don't know the exact mods you did but I heard these cars are squirrelly at 120mph, never mind 150mph!  :worshippy

    Sweetness!!!!  Nice!!!

    I don't have my car on the road, only drove it around the block on my little 14" tires and going around a corner at like 20mph felt worse than going around the corner at 40mph in my old modded Integra.  All stock vintage suspension.  My little Challenger loves to roll...  :eek4:

    Sharp and its Petty blue...
    How long have you had your car?
    My car was stock also pretty much but my friend talked me into going to the track and I was bit by the BUG
    3 years ago and so much for much for keeping my car stock
    The suspension is so stiff its not much fun to drive on the street unless its a smooth road---drawback
