Need some help guys... Superbird or Daytona???????????

[learical1]

Yeah, well King Richard drove a Superbird....

Only because Plymouth whined like a spoiled lil' brother when Petty wanted one of those "winged" cars.....      If it wasn't for that, then Petty might have continued in a Ford and those "beep beep"s wouldn't be so............... But, in the end things have a way of working out, Superbirds are awesome period, Amen!

Fixed!

I like aspects of one and the other as stated. 
What tips it for me, to the Superbird side,   is the pistol grip believe it or not.
I had 1 Mopar with a 3 speed , but it didn't feel as comfortable as a pistol grip.

Of course if someone wants to will me their Daytona, I'm not gonna say no...

Having HAD a pistol grip 4 spd Superbird that I kicked to the curb for my auto Daytona, I guess you know which one I prefer.  But that's a choice that I had to make based upon what worked best for me.  As others have said, you have to decide what will be the best for you. 

SUPERBIRD PROS - (Yes, I know there's more, but this is a reply not a blog)
Richard Petty.  OK, guess we can stop right here.
It says PLYMOUTH large enough on the side that if someone calls it a DODGE they have to be a moron.
Most non-Mopar folks think anything with a wing is a 'bird anyway.
Cool stuffed cartoon animal display options.
Distinctive horn sound that folks seem to WANT to hear!
Can't argue about the allure of the 6-pack.
Not much more testosterone than a pistol grip shift.
Pull up on either side of the pump!
LARGE trunk opening.
Power steering is standard!
Hood assist.
LIghted side markers!

DAYTONA PROS -
Masterpiece of design (IMHO) - Designed not combined.
1/4 the numbers of the Superbird.  Less likely to hear "I've got a buddy with one of those."
Having a HEMI badges makes you even MORE popular.   
A horn from Autozone will work in a pinch and no one's the wiser.
Gas cap on the fender is way cool.
The key goes in the dash, not the steering column. 
No need to Armor All the roof.
Cool fender scoop grills.

SUPERBIRD "CONS" - (for entertainment purposes only....I'm not being mean!)
Selling it later won't leave you with the question of what to do with all the Warner Bros cartoon stuff if you have no (grand)children that visit.
One man's "high impact" is another man's "clown" colorwheel.
The mystery of what might lie beneath the vinyl roof!
Luck of the draw bench seat option.
Less likely to fine "correct" models of your car.  (Thank you WB license folks.)
You have to convince folks those fender scoops aren't just decorative. 

DAYTONA "CONS" -
I don't own a firearm due to the amount of folks who say "SuperBee"...  Keeps me outta jail.
The mail slot trunk lid.  When I find that 6'8" 13 yr old, I'll be able to get the crap outta the "way back" of my trunk some day.
You would think every part was made from solid platinum or something.
Thumbwheel radio.  I'm just geared toward right and left not up and down!
Cleanup from those grills under the fender scoops - but only if you actually DRIVE your car!
Glove box that doesn't allow the door to be used as drink holder.
Lack of "Daytona-wear" available.  Some times you just have to "settle" for Charger.
Dodge will slap "DAYTONA" on most anything!  Trucks, 4 door sedans, you name it! 

Enjoy your journey!

I like it too....

Im glad the designers got the silly nose to fender worked out the second time around. ( almost a fail) Ill also stick with the Plymouth exhaust tips, but I have to give the Dodge Boys the win on the fuel filler port.

Awesome post

bench seat with 4 speed. in my car.

[Kismgby]

Awesome post

OK to steal for newsletter filler one day.   

Thanks for the  everyone.  See what happens when you discover you have no juice in the house and substitute two cans of Red Bull instead.

...and a side note to BILLSSUPERBIRD.... My 'bird was the same as yours.  But at 5'4", in order to push the clutch all the way in, I had to let my "girls" rest on the steering wheel, and passengers sat with their knees under their chin.  No one had fun....scratch that...no one had the MOST fun you could have.

C'ya,
JoA

I think you mean minus the "girls" PLUS some "stuff"

  My vote would be the Daytona less the wing and the extra 5.6 mile front nose (AKA 500).  

Ok, if you really had to have the wing thing, then the Daytona clearly.   

My perspective really is more of what base car you like better (RR or Charger).

Or which ever has the biggest ca-ho-nes    ( sorry had to get some testosterone back into the conversation )

A Roadrunner may have wings....but Chargers FLY!
