ChrisJones 7,973 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 You can never have to much Do you have any idea what it does in a straight line 0-60? My P38 will do it in 10 seconds which is pretty impressive for a 2 tonne car but it's not going to come close on torque to that beast It's nearly 30 years old and tend to baby it. It's not the fastest but it'll haul anything you need it to. I pulled a highway patrol charger out of a snow bank this winter and towed him 20 miles out of the snow. I don't really want to tinker with it's reliability because it's only got 162,000 original miles on it. Mopar do a 900hp mod for that truck, if you can believe it, but it's a lot of work. Right down to applying Hard Blok to stop bulges and such. I've heard of torque figures in the 1500's but I need to see it to believe it. I used to have one of these, without a doubt the most amazing car I have driven, it was heavy as hell (no power steering!) and drove like a rocket, it was in mint condition but like a d*ck I ragged it and blew the head gaskets. I've got a '95 Dodge Dakota 5.2 V8 Magnum sat on the drive, but it's broken. It had a few mods to it, but like you, I drove it like I stole it! If I was gentle I could 15mpg from it. Average was 7! That's the reason I baby the Cummins... All the farm boys keep trying to buy it off me! 5.2 seconds for the remapped Scooby : Nice mate! I was in low 7's in the Dakota. It would pass everything except a petrol station! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I started looking to see if I had any more decent vehicle pictures, and when I went through my old digital albums I came across this little beauty.There are thousands of pictures of that scene all over the internet, but that was taken at Altcar on the last Waterloo Cup in 2005. There were a handful of antis there, thousands of hunters as you'd expect. The police presence outnumbered the protesters. That Range Rover was believed to contain the chief constable of Merseyside police. Apparently he had come to give us all a stern warning that this was the last event and that he was going to vigorously police the Hunting Act.He never got to give his speech because his driver rolled the range rover in the field. They got out and f****d off! Never saw them, a few of us off the forum were heading out when we saw it in the ditch! Great metaphor for the ban... 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
