How has it been since your comment? You should make videos! I'd subscribe.

I wrecked in a drag race 30 years ago when I was 21. Broke my neck, fractured skull, permanent nerve damage to my left arm and shoulder, broken ankle and 17 fractures in my left leg. I was paralyzed from the neck down. They give me less than one half percent of even surviving. With hard work in rehab. I was one in the millions that become paralyzed and regain all motor functions. Lucky is not a word for my recovery. It was a miracle. I had 5 race cars at the time and was itching to get back to racing. After I was cleared from the doctor's to never race again. I headed back to the quarter mile. When I was coming up to maximum speed on my first run, I felt hesitant to keep pushing it. I figured it was just back to racing nerves. I took several runs and could not shake that feeling. I tried and tried for over a month everyday to get competitive again. I finally realized that I had lost my edge and could not be a good competitor. I sold all my drag cars and went back to work doing hvac service work. Now I am 51 and retiring this month. I have had my eye on the Scat Pack for about a year now. I still like to go fast, just not on the track. Just a quick question Jay, How is the Scat Pack for driving long distance ? I have alot of arthritis in my legs and want something that I don't have to stop every 50 miles to stretch. I had to buy a Cadillac just for this purpose. Is it comfortable on long drives ?

I feel they put too small of tires on the cars off the factory line

Congratulations on your car but please young man be safe and don't race in traffic because you can lose control and hurt yourself or someone else. Enjoy

I never wrecked but I carry guilt because being lucky isn't good enough when playing with other people's lives. I know exactly what you mean.

I agree but I will say, at least where I live (NY) or within 75 miles of it (NY), this state spends millions of dollars on walking paths. Biking paths, hiking/cliff face climbing (High liabilities as well correct?), and slow and slower lanes but think that any type of motor sports are reckless, brings in violent crowds, too much liability 😆😂, too much pollution (may we begin on the electric car battery start to finish (disposal issues?), and too much traffic on roads. Well, there is a lot of backed up traffic and accidents on roads that are long and winding and have little to no should and a mountain biker going up or down in lane riding extremely slow or when hikers park illegally and state police do nothing about it although no parking signs all over the road and the road is so narrow add 18 wheelers to the list and people are going head on (happens quite often I may add. Almost every summer weekend). Or the additional amount of litter along and throughout these areas (but we have signs!) Ok we will put up signs as well. And the amount of serious injuries as well as minor (bad road rash, broken arm), and finally, only because very long already, and congregation of many people blocking store fronts, diners, and pizza places, throughout the check points of the trails. So you get it? It's racism in a different manner. Because of what we do does not interest many political staff and many people in general (that the news pushes to broadcast) this state is not willing to entertain it at all nor tolerate its frustrated drivers wishing they could have a local track here and there, we go to the streets (need to learn to drive at night lol) and yes, some of do become violent (frustrated and stressed better word). Let's think of it, aren't all of us as well at this point?

Greater power come with greater responsibility!

@@moisto_o3036 I was thinking the same thing. Experience of riding dirt bikes and street bikes should help w muscle cars.

Kinda hard to look in the direction you want to go when your spinning out of control.

@@BC-hc5dq well if you're spinning out of control you've already passed the point of no return. The OP's advice applies to what you should do to AVOID reaching the point of no return. If the car has already spun over 90° you're well on your way. 180°+... you're already there and just along for the ride. Unless you intentionally did this, and are in control (which the majority are not), yeah... you've hit that point. In the end, the object is to avoid letting it get there. These car have WICKED power. One must bare that in mind and RESPECT that fact at all times. Do that, and you'll likely be able to benefit from the aforementioned advice. Don't... well... hope there's no traffic, pedestrians, guard rails, cement barriers, buildings, bridges, or ditches nearby. Any of those and you may have a life changing, or ending moment.

Not just when you get out of shape, ALWAYS look out ahead where you want the car to go.

man car boy driver , end of story ....

That is why you have the teenage and valet mode. Never got to drive a Hellcat. That was a Roush certified test drivers job. But did drive the Mustang 5.0 and tested all the modes. With all the transmissions. Until I got caught. I guess Ford was sure I would break the Manual shift 6 speed? I have a cycle endorsement and a 750 Katana. That is about 4 Horses for every 10 pounds of motorcycle. Don't like the Rs motor is too pipey. AKA narrow HP and torque band with steep increase. Smooth is much better for driving For drag race HP is about all that matters as long the rear wheels do not pass the front wheels. I wore out 5 motorcycles. BTW a "88 Saleen does have problems keeping the rear wheels behind the front ones. Drove one of those. Also did drive a purple shaft 440 4 speed '66 Charger. Never wrecked either one. I don't like automatics in the new cars. The computer and I have a different idea of what gear is proper for what I am doing.

Shit you would have to be a professional race driver to handle the hellcat.

Not just your 392, my 5.7 rt can find a slick spot under hard acceleration and get slidey really quick! Thankfully no misshaps for me yet, but I definitely respect the hemi. The scat or hc could be too much very quickly if my lil 5.7 can get out of sorts on dry pavement.

Very true my friend

I own an 09 mustang gt and occasionally drive like an ass, but ive had it for over 3 years and have gotten used to how it drives when pushed. But it took me a while to reach that point. It took me a few months to get used to how the car felt when driven hard or how to react with me making power slides. But now I dont really do that stuff anymore, the worst I do is speed down the highway[like 80-90 mph)

no they are rare, because people put the originals away, because they are collector pieces.

So true.. My boss bought a brand new 1965 Shelby Cobra w/289, Black. One night while street racing in Fremont Ca. he hit a railroad crossing at 100+ mph ..the car flipped and was destroyed, breaking his back in the process.

427 Cobra is rare because only 34 were made. Look it up.

Stick with your Honda Francisco. Lol

Not over 140? My 1967 Oldsmobile 442 only had 360 horsepower, but it weighed 3600 because it was barely optioned. The 3.73 gears made sure it didn't go over 115mph

Wow Im the same way! But Im 61 yrs old. Ive learned alot since 18 yrs old. Ive a series of quick muscle cars from that era. Self control is the name of the game! Like you said! Im surprised Im still here!

My 66 Charger ran up to 145 mph, and blew a lot of tires back in the 70's. Finally got smart and got some cop interceptors. Once the road was lonely, it was terrific. Tread life was not great though.

The go fast motorcycle guys learned how self control is early on. When I first got a bike it was a 15 year old beater middleweight...but the equivalent power to weight ratio in a 3500 lb car would have been 800 hp. It’s a different day in the canyons when there’s significantly less “rest” time between corners, and fatigue gets dangerous fast...

Four or five guys I knew in high school (early 70’s). We’re dead before 25. All these guys were into muscle and racing. Since I was a kid I wanted a Challenger. I bought a beautiful black R/T as a retirement present to myself in 2011. It’s got all the power I need. Sure would like to drive a hellcat some day though.

The track can help you understand the limits of your car.. we have all done some stupid stuff in a car lol

I totally agree with you the track is the safest place to fully push your car to the limit and beyond rather than endangering yourself or others in the street. I myself am 21 about to be 22 on this 18th and on my 200hp+ el camino I want to floor it whenever I have the chance.
