Default RE: Drove an auto black R/T today! Dissappointed at lack of power.

I figured you were bothered by the fact I had a clone made from a 70 Charger. I had the 70 which needed work so it was used as it really wouldn't have made much sense to buy a nice 69 Charger only to lose the front clip anyway. I was never trying to pull one over on anyone so using a 69 was never an issue. That's why it's called a clone, sure it's not 100% but it's my car and I really don't care what others think....which by the way I have never had anyone who had a problem with it. My 70 looks just like a 69 except for the side lights, and some interior pieces, which again I could change these out IF I wanted it to look like a stock Daytona....which I don't.
If you were to checkout the charger.com web site, aero car section, you will see that the use of 70's is very popular for the reasons mentioned above. As for the never any 1970 Daytonas built.........old story that we have covered several times.....so what, again mines a clone. I guess I need to restate.....I have never tried in any way shape or form to pass my Daytona off as any thing other than a 70 that I turned into a Daytona like alike.....period. I was very lucky to have owned an original Hemi Superbird in the past, but again times change and people change as well.
ANYWAY.........I think we need to end this thread on wingcars as this is the "Dodge Challenger Forum" , if you feel a need to continue it, we can move it over to the off topic section................But all points hopefully have been made. Have a good one.....
