bigger than life it is... i hope this satisfies your hunger for speed.  but what happens when you get tired of going 8's

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Sweet Jeebus Charlie Brown!


Thats a whole mess 'o car!   Parachute and all!

Any vids of the previous runs?

[greenpigs]

Yes, 493 listened to me this time.

I hope you get what your looking for out of this ride, and any plans on getting a charger to play with on the street?

Who me??? Get tired of 8's? By the time I start running 8's I will be ready to retire. I have to slow the car down (throttle stop) and start at 10's then 9's and with a pair of Depends, I will do 8's.

I'm cashed out. We just spent $250,000 on an addition to the house and we also bought a $350,000 2nd house, so I don't have a lot of extra cash for a Charger.
I almost bout a 69 Charger that runs 9's (tube chassis car) but the guy didn't want to show me more pictures and he didn't know a thing about the engine and trans spec's so I backed off on that deal.

Two houses must have enough equity for one measly little Charger.     

Hope you have some fun with the Duster, sounds great.  

[Charger_Fan]

Looks like fun! That oughta flatten your eyeballs.

I took a ride on a 11.08 second car and ended up with a good head ache. I can't imagine 8 second car!!!
Congratulations! I miss the Charger thou. Can't wait to see the pictures with the babe!

[Blakcharger440]

That Duster looks wicked!    You will have loads of fun with that! Sweeeet! 

[mikemopar]

Right on Jim.  I can't wait to see it tearing up Woodburn!!!!

When it's time for Depends let me know, there's no sense in you having to buy a whole package.  I'll spot you a pair whenever you race down here.

You have a split personality or are you in cognito Mike? What's with the new name?

[mikemopar]

Hello DCG.  Merry Christmas.
Sorry for the hijack Jim.

I'm in Texas and forgot my password's book.  It was late at night and I wanted to post, so I used my "pet name" for the time being.  I'll be on this puter whenever I'm at my mom's and we're moving here next summer.
My mom has a 3x black '06 Charger RT that I'll be hammering on this week.  She asked for it for a demo cause I was coming.  I told I wanted a 300.

[Silver R/T]

cool duster, maybe Ill see it in person

[Big Lebowski]

Cool dude,  give your old car a 3 second headstart if you race it someday.

[Ghoste]

I hope you leave the pic of the Charger in your sig just for old times sake.  At least for a little while.

Is that gonna include some burnout pics??

[mikemopar]

My mom used to let me drive anything she had.  She's a little apprehensive this time, I don't know why.  Maybe it's because of the chair, .   I'm still working her, problem was I told her what I was gonna do.
I used to go to the dealership and drive anything I wanted too.  I'm gonna try and get a ride in a Viper tho, last time I was able to drive one.


Sorry for the 'jack Jim.  We're keeping you on top.  BTW, will you repaint it or anything?

Some day I will paint it black but I will have to try and save up for a while.

[mikemopar]

BLACK!  That will look bitc3en.

Jim, how do you plan on driving with only 2 tires on the ground.  It's kind of hard to practice, too cool.  Maybe put some mirrors out in front on the fenders so you can see your lane.

[Jon Smith]

Looks awesome, cant wait to see next years vids

[viper r/t]

Nice duster.
