just look at the huge amount of energy that`s used to build a car.  I`m sure the environment will benefit from driving a 440 cuda another 20 yrs instead of getting a new prius  :grinyes:

Love when he says, "I got an Audi R8 right up my trumpet here!".  :roflsmiley:

Very cool video, thanks!   :thumbsup: 

I'll consider this when I'm buying my next supercar.  :icon16:

Surprised how low the mileage was on the Prius!  :o  Driving habits do make a big difference.  Taking the lead foot shoes off helps.




We should try this but with E-bodies with different engines and 1 gallon of fuel: a Hemi, 440, 440+6, 383, 340 and 318.

Betcha the Hemi makes it only 1/2 way around the track...  :poopoke:  :stirpot:  :smilielol:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
