No different than some of the bolt-on aero that racers and companies use today.


A few hand made race cars won races.

The 503 street legal versions were copies of the race cars, same as these modern tribute cars.

Most of the original cars had 375 hp. and could hit 130 mph on a very good day with a 20 mph tail wind.

They say this one has 1000 hp and hits 194 mph:

But hey... that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Just looking at that nose, you'd think a Trans Am was reborn.

That's not true. Your judgement to post Frank Zappa was perfect. His judgement, however, was questionable. :D

Got torque? Failed drive axle from a 962 that was being raced at Rennsport last month.

Ouch! Is that what took Canepa out of the race in the nisseki car?

Looks like someone either spec'd or grabbed the wrong welded material. A piece of seamless may have given better results. Either way, takes a lot of torque to unzip a weld like that!

That is astonishing. I would love to have that to hang on the wall in my home office. How much torque and traction doe it take to do that? WOW.

The street cars were hand made also. The Superbird was a little slower at 160 but the Daytona with a Hemi could reach 180mph. Even the 440 was clocked at over 150 in the street cars as they came from the factory. Read up a bit at Allpar.com.

In my yoot I had a 69 GTX like the one in the pic up to about 130ish on the 22 freeway, that was pretty much maxed out and it felt like it was floating. It did NOT handle well and was far from confidence building.
It had the 440 magnum with air grabber, aluminum intake with 750 holley and headers and was very strong.

If that aero package could net them another 20 mph and provide enough downforce to keep the car on the road, then it was truly a magnificent work of engineering.

North Korean workers arrange model tanks with the North Korean People's Army flags in a parade formation in front of a replica of the Grand People's Study House at the Pyongyang Folk Park, on November 18, 2012. The park, which spans Korean history from prehistoric to modern times, opened in September, 2012 after three years of construction by the North Korean soldiers. #

It's better looking than the original, better fit and finish, way more powerful (most of the originals had 375 hp), better handling, more reliable, and way more fastererer.

The o-riginal daytonas were off the assembly line charger RTs that were bastardized with cheap fitting bolt-on components that would make a 1990's Pontiac designer jealous.

I'd rather have a junkyard original than a modern copy.
