Cannot post pics right now, but in my past I've owned:

1967 SS/RS 350 4 speed convertible Camaro
1967 SS/RS 396 auto. Camaro, ran high 11s in quarter mile
1967 SS/RS 396 4 speed w/disc brakes Camaro
1968 SS 350 3 speed Camaro
1969 SS 396 auto Camaro, transplanted with a 454, ran mid 11s in quarter mile
1969 Dodge Dart (currently own, current project)
1970 1/2 Camaro
1970 SS 396 auto Chevelle
1974 SS 4 speed Nova
1964 TR4 w/454 and turbo 400 trans, narrowed 9" rear, w/full roll cage, ran in low 10s in quarter mile, most fun car of all.
1976 MGB convertible (currently own)
2006 Charger SRT8 w/6.1 Hemi, ran low 13s @ 112mph. Just traded it for a H3 Hummer.

More to come, got my eye on a Viper.

I can attest to that...as can one deputy from the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office.

Like you need another way to draw attention of the folks around you. LOL!! The thought occurred to me as to just how in the hell are we going to up-armor it. Guess you and me and Methos and Hawker are going to have to get our thinking helmets and fabrication gloves on and come up with a way to mount a turret or something on the right t-top. It would definately put the "quick" in QRF.

Uparmor? Hell, I'll just outrun what ever needs to be outran. You know me. Fast women (my wife only), fast cars, and big guns. That's me!! GI does look at me crossed eyed when I talk about getting a Viper. She says how am I going to drive it on the roads we live on? I say, just trailer it to the first big road and unload there and go...sounds good to me...right??

Well I guess you could turn the Viper into a quasi-trailer queen. But GI does have a valid concern. If ya'll had that much trouble with the Charger, maybe the Viper will be worse. Or maybe you can get up enough steam to just float over the bumps. Seems teh faster you go, the smoother the road is.

I'm trying to convince Sierra to let me get my B-I-L to build me a custom long shooter .308. He said he can do it for about $2k which is a heck of a lot cheaper than if I was pestering for a 50 like my friends have. But that's a down the road nice to have deal. Got other supplies I gotta get first.

Remember, GI was in charge of the Charger. "I" will be in charge of the Viper...if allowed.
