Like I said earlier...I'm in Kent and usually at a lose end all day everyday so if you're bored I have a nice example of a 68 Charger you can view if only for the sake of interest

Sounds like a plan. I'm now living in Weald and am off from tomorrow night, but if I'll get in touch once I get back from my holiday to see when you're free towards the end of August

600bhp skyline is all very well, but you just cant use that sort of power on the roads.

id much rather have people see me crusing in a super sexy sounding piece of classic american muscle and thinking 'now that is nice' (to which they do, if you dont want attention dont buy one

)

then screaming past people at 140 scaring them all and have them thinking
'what a Bananarama!'

I've done my 'high power Jap performance car' time for now with the 350z and am not after some sort of a drag strip monster/tyre burner which is why I'm looking for what I'm looking right now

That i do agree with, i to have had high tuned motors but used at the right time and place, ive passed all that lark. I live in the sticks and i always have the knobs in their golfs, saxo Bananarama! etc racing up my arse, over take on bends or two or more cars at a time etc few days later there they are cars nose down in the ditch or laying on its side in the ditch. Serves em right!

My mate had a 383 high revving small block in an Ultima, circa 650hp.

No where the style, comfort & class of your Bentley, but boy did it handle, always felt it was capable of handling significantly more power.

I had a 12 month spell with a new Datsun GTR35 but the running costs were seriously getting to me.

Indeed Sasha...give me a shout whenever you're around

Don't believe all you read about E body handling - they really are no worse than any other Mopar (and still better than others IMHO

) - they just LOOK like they can handle better

In any case, as you said things can be done to any one of 'em to improve that - findings on the intraweb is proof of that!

If you want to try a Challenger give me a shout - I'm over in Essex. It rides and handles pretty good for and old motor

I will definitely take you up on that offer. Living near Sevenoaks, getting to Essex is pretty quick and easy and while I've seen a fair few of these, I never had the privilege of a guided tour!

Its the old fashioned technology that gets me post 1970 vehicles with a 440ci Engine and no power assisted brakes or disc brakes in many of them. Maybe at 55 mph they didn't think it necessary without having to stand on the brakes?
