Dodge Is Cancelling The Hellcat

[Squatch]

I drove one of those, it was hilarious, mine is three on the tree. Yep, I even had the original 144 rebuilt, shop thought I was nuts, probably am.

Falcons are a fun car, no matter how they're equipped. If you ever felt the need for some serious "raw power", that 200-six is a drop-in.
Every Mustang out there owes its existence to the '60 Falcon. Ya gotta love that!

The peanut (2.77 transmission) would explode with that kind of power. It's smaller than my Dana 30 housing by a large margin.

Is that a non-synchro first gear? My '61 Rambler American wagon was a non-synchro 3-on-the-tree with Overdrive. What a blast to drive!

Are we dick measuring now? Nope I CURRENTLY don't own anything older than my 97 TJ. Have I owned older vehicles in the past? Yep sure have.

If they still MADE the Hellcat in 5 years would I own one? Most likely not just as I doubt I'll own another Corvette but that doesn't mean I don't like them or reading about them. And yep it makes me sad when they stop making things like this.

Ha, no. American muscle to me meant winning on the track and not second place and soul. This thing was at the end of it's life, there are plenty of great new things on lot like the Corvette and the Tesla that hold up our end. We've seen allot come and go, this wont be the last.

Yep, I've had it apart several times, super simple. It's fun to drive for me at least, pretty relaxing.

I owned one… they badly need AWD.

Well AGAIN this is what makes life in the good ol USA so great. I could GAF about winning on the track but I also enjoy having a lot of muscle under the hood. My latest fun over the past 15 years has been modifying diesel trucks instead of messing with cars.
I've always been more of a truck guy so having one and being able to mess with it has been fun.

Tesla isn't in my view of anything that falls into American muscle. But like everything it's an opinion.

The Falcon was probably the best car Ford ever built - and I mean that in a good way.

As I've said in the past, I could use an electric - but a Tesla ain't it.
