I'll agree that this would be a nice driver. I bet the A/C still works.

I need that hitch for jazebelle.

I think this one is a rerun. That rear bumper is lookin' good. No granny dimples.

Parts car.....

Rust belt winter beater....

 

[70NPORT]

Yup........

Just bring a few gallons of transmission fluid & add some whenever it starts slipping. That's a blast in a winter beater.

tranny slippage was the forerunner to Traction Control. We don't need no stinkin 'puters.

Pretty quick compared to Germany with parting out cars in general from what I see.
There's rarely a typical run of the mill German car of these days that runs and comes in one piece being parted out. Body parts may be a little bit better available due to longer model runs but just barely.

Fortunately I can completely disable the traction control in my Challenger.

Good thing I cant.... I have left two strips of rubber 150 ft long when leaving a stop. I need some control

I have no control & I go through tires.

 

[Stormer]

You can disable it with a Predator or adding the button is apparently pretty easy. My car came with the button.

 

[polara71]

Thats my point, I am glad the control is there, if not I would have been through a set of tires already. The ones on there now are bald....

Yours is the SRT ..... its disable-able, the R/T without the STP will not completely disable the traction control

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure you can completely disable it with a Predator but I'm not 100%.

 

[polara71]

Oh, yeah, maybe with the predator ...........I dont want or need that, thank you, I'm fine

$300 Predator will wake that car up.

 

[polara71]

That car is awake......... I have had it to 137 MPH with the sunroof and windows open and it was still pulling hard.

I am always puzzled the way people knock the R/T best handling car I ever drove and I dont see how its only a 14 second car
