The exact opposite actually, I love Cudas, Chargers and Challengers, all the tough Mopar iron.

I just don't see how a rusty, poor condition Drifter van is a win. If it was absolutely immaculate and tricked up like most of the cars in this thread then it would be a win. In the condition its in its not a win IMO.

A win and a fail is different for each individual. Not everyone will agree with every post in this thread.

I think this is an epic win, if you don't, well great.



805bhp, to be precise, that ride shotgun with 823 torques to give a 0-60mph time of 3.1 seconds. That's fractionally, fractionally faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia. Mr Hennessey tells us it'll do the standing quarter mile in 10.9 seconds, travelling at 130mph.

That's one quick SUV
