I think a handful of companies is the future of the automotive industry. 

As demand continues to shrink for automobiles, you’re going to see more and more of these mergers.

When I worked as a parts slinger at a GM dealership, we always had to price out OEM, Delco and “aftermarket”. It was shocking how many people would put the cheapest possible part on fairly new vehicles (just outside of warranty.) You’re driving a 35-40k dollar vehicle and you cheap out on its parts?

I had an ex-girlfriend who drove a 1st gen 2-door, DOHC 5-speed. It was a peppy and fun car!

I don’t believe so. If you look at the 1/4 mile slip, it showed 131 mph. It makes sense that it could jog to 100 and back in 10.6.

Solidarity!

“PowerPlus” was a name used by Indian back in the day (late teens/early 20's), so it has some historical value to the brand. 

Twister truck was running the Magnum 5.9 gasser motor, but I like your thinking!

Re: 4th gear and neutral.  This technology scares the hell out of me. Gross governmental overreach, but let’s be honest, what else is new? 

I feel that the AX-15 would get shredded behind a 5.9L, plus the limited used the Quadra-Drive t-case, whereas the AX-15 in the ZJ above would have been bolted to a Selec-Trac.

Forgot the biggest question, “will it baby?”

Unfortunately my city isn’t included. Oh well, it isn’t hurting anyone locked up in my shed. 

Is that Oakland County? I’ve got a bunch of used coolant sitting in my shed I need to get rid of, but if it’s as much of a disaster as you describe, it can continue to sit. 

Shocked I had to scroll so far to see this. 

Those look more like Torque Thrust II wheels than Cragar mags.

You got the best color Dodge is offering right now, F8 Green. Heavily considering purchasing a Scat Pack Challenger in that color to match my ‘69 Valiant that came in that color from the factory.

Drove past your house yesterday and it’s starting to look like your buddy who lives in Ann Arbor!
