Its a great feeling know im in 4th crusing and some folks pull up next to me to give me the thumbs up and I down shift to 3rd to gain more power to do a quick pass....the feel of power to be able to do that is orgasmic!!!

Just been super excited Fred last 3 days of driving her after the summer hibrnation.

After buying the hotchkis stuff, new fuel tank, etc...took me all 3 months of sweating in the garage in 110 degree weather, adjusting this and that...its a blast to get her back on the road..missing the rumble, power, etc....

Fred

I know where you're coming from mate. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.  :2thumbs:    :drive:

Amen to that!!! Nuttin like a good ole 4-speed. I'm betting you have a pistol grip in your charger!!! My charger didn't come with a pistol grip nor is it correct but it's been in there for several years now and it's awesome!!!! Been driving driving mine around a good bit lately and finally getting to enjoy it a bit instead of working on it.  ;D

of course its got the pistol grip wouldnt have it any other way...bought a new oak handle though the old was faded pretty bad.

You wanna real rush?
Downshift to 2nd at about 35-40 mph, and squeeze this little blue button and get ready to wrestle an alligator.

Love the pistol grip!!!! After I watched vanishing point for the first time I had to have one in my charger!!! I am going to have to buy me the handle inserts soon too, mine have been on there several years and are showing signs of wear!!
