Cheers, Jerry.
Hmmm... Jury's out on that guy. Good work, but all very very "clean". Still making my mind up there.

Make it ride and brake properly (reads 'safe') and keep it original.

I don't get the big wheels/ultra low profile tyres bit - doesn't float my boat; like the body mods, though.
Real Brakes and improved handling are the key.

Left me a bit cold that site. Liked the idea of a turbo charged 6.1 Hemi but the other mods don't do owt for me.

I dunno Budge. Call me a big fat fag but there is something REALLY unnatural and wrong, in trying to throw one of those cars through bends. Straight lining - yeas, but trying to make a B Road point - to - pointer out of one is pretty scary. Obviously I havent been in one but it those cars, and proper handling go together like Jerry Sadowicz and the Samaritans.

Even changing the wheels to low profiles and 17" rims for the street, made a big difference to the way my Cuda handled.....so one of those Challengers must be amazing
