    If you liked Vanishing Point
    « on: March 15, 2013 - 06:53:54 PM »
    A new book has just come out - a thriller called Torque, by Glenn Muller. The good guy is a driving instructor and weekend racer who drives a 1970 Hemi Challenger. His buddy drives a 1967 GTO, and the bad guy (who is actually female) drives a BMW - need I say more...

    Thanks for the tip.  I don't have a lot of time to read but this sounds interesting!

    Another nice car book is, "Go Like Hell"  It's a book about Carroll Shelby, Ford and Ferrari by A. J. Baime.

    is it a coincidence that your name and the book happen to be the same?  :icon16:

    Not a coincidence, but having been there and done that gives the book an authentic feel. I'm not here to spam. I just know that if such a book was out there, as a Mopar fan I'd want someone to tell me about it.

    no worries.  dont consider this spam at all.  its challenger related and sounds like it could be a good read.  looking forward to it.  pretty charger, no matter how many times i see that car, and i see it often, i never get over how perfect that body is.

    Yeah - that model looks like it's flying when it's standing still.  :swaying:
