My kind of 1970 Barracuda
A guy at work showed me this. This is bad for my mind. Haha I really like how they built this car. It gives me stupid ideas for my 71 Challenger.

Sorry, but I just can't get excited over anything with a diesel engine in it. Maybe it is because I have driven dirty old diesel trucks to long and smelt the horrible fumes, the stink of diesel fuel on ones hands even though I used leather gloves. Yeah, the car is pumping out some reasonable figures but for me, petrol, racing fuel, etc build engines in Hot Rods, drag racers etc is the only way to go. JMHO.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

I can appreciate all the motor work.. but that car SUCKS! and the paint is awful! Gee, I hope that wasn't a gennie car they started with?!?! I could only watch a minute or so of that video.
I guess it's one of those deals you either love it or hate it! You know where I stand!

If you were to build a car with that much grunt, I'm sure you would discover two things:
1) the colour of adrenaline,
and
2) it happens in your trousers.
I know that would be true for me!
