Last post by cdr - May 07, 2024, 08:11:06 AM

the longest trip I have taken the Charger on was from Katy Tx to Austin Tx was about 300 mile round trip, cold ac & overdrive make it nice, for a car that cracks into the 10's 1/4 mile its a very enjoyable car to drive, unless its raining LOL

no idea if this is correct: but, from google, another site had this info from someone: no idea if its accurate, but assuming the 4bbl ones would be the only "hp" ones? so maybe ~8500?

WL21M3 "Coupe" 400 2bbl Autos - 180 made.

General Q&A / 1973 Charger SE

Last post by branded - May 06, 2024, 02:46:28 PM

We just restored a 1973 Charger SE matching numbers car with a 400HP motor.  Can anyone tell me how many HP motors were put into 73 Chargers and how many are left?  Our machinist told us the HP 400 was pretty rare.

Not really a "traffic" ticket because it's not a moving violation, but the cops in my state love to write citations for tinted windows deemed too dark. The law says "Front-side windows must allow over 70% of light to be transmitted. This restricts tint to 30% or lighter."  How the hell does a cop determine this?
They write the ticket and it's up to you to prove it's not too dark. 

Hi John,            06 May 2024

They do it because they can, most likely the average driver hasn't a clue what to do to beat the citation. It's "Guilty Until Proven Innocent;" just the opposite of what the constitution says. We are already a "Dictatorship" Ala "Joe Schmo" Pricktator in Chief."

Here (AZ) Pinal County is big on enforcing the window tint law, which is the same as yours; the cops have a meter they put on the window which lets them know the tint percentage. Here in Phoenix they seem to turn a blind eye to window tint.

Our truck had the legal stuff on it. We got tired of rolling the windows down at night so we had it removed. Love it OFF !!!

  In basic training our Sgt. stuttered constantly, every order and sentence was staggered English. This is NOT what I meant as that is a stigmatic effect like Mel Tillis has.
