Vanishing Point Revisited...Oh Mango & the new SRT8

[Wango Mango]

Ron & Steve, thought I'd update you on our photo shoot/ article w/ the new SRT8 Challenger.  Rich Truesdell, editor of Musclecar Enthusiast & Automotive Traveler.com just arrived in Denver w/ the new Chally & Holly flew in this AM to drive the Hemi thru Colorado & Utah alongside the new car.  Here's one link that Rich frequently updates & there's also a post on Moparts.com in the General topic section.   Just restored & installed an AM 8 track that plays great. Put Wilwoods on the front & got it all tuned for the 1500 mile ride.  Hope all is well w/ you.  We're doing a photo shoot in Vegas w/ Holly's Charger, too.  Will send pics soon.    Here's a couple of links  www.automotivetraveler.com

Take care, buzz.

sure do!  That's Chris Hoskin's wife doing the starts on the USS Midway where we got to do burnouts for Fox News.  She's a great lady & wasn't afraid of smoke!.  Check out www.musclecar1000.com

COOL!! He's bringing it through Salt Lake tomorrow from noon to 4!
Looks like the local Mopar club is ALL OVER IT, I think I'd better bring my camera to work tomorrow & take a long lunch!
I hope it doesn't snow, like the weather guesser is predicting.

Well, I got to see this new Chally today.
Pretty darn cool to FINALLY be able to see this car in the flesh, after the years of hype!




6.1 Liters of sweet HEMI!




There was also a UHP MagnaCharger there, with a 5.7 HEMI under the hood...



...a SUPERCHARGED HEMI, that is!




Side by side with the flashies on.




Then the new Chally pulled forward, to let some REAL muscle into the bay.

Silver & black is stealthy, but how about white?...

Hey Buzz, thanks for the links...looks like you guys had a blast. 

How much fuel did Go Mango burn on that little tour ?

Well, I know The Ram 2500 was close to a grand but surprisingly, Go Mango gets 10-15 mpg if I keep my foot out of it.  Only problem was that never happened!  I think we spent close to $500 on dead dinosaurs for the Hemi.   I'd do it all over again, too.  Hope your CHarger is dong well.   I heard you're racing it on Pinks?  That's fantastic.  Buzz
