Just another typical day at the shop. .

I get to drive a lot of rare stuff where I work. It's enough that Barrett-Jackson is no fun to go to because I've driven most of the cars that go across the stage. At our shop ya definitely get numb to it. How many GT500 Mustangs do you need to drive to figure out that they drive like crap and most overheat. Lol

kind-of reminds me of what people are saying about the Hellcat Challenger - that it's too much power and the car (or driver) can't keep it on the road. Lots of them are ending up in ditches. I'd still drive one though! :headbang:

Made me think of the shop 1/2 mile down the road from my work(specialize in vettes). I can always tell when they have a car on the dyno.
 
Make sure you put the wheel locks on or with the combined pushing power of the exhausts combined with the pulling power of that cooling fan it may drag itself out of the door whilst your back is turned....
 
I just missed a pic of a Pantera that I was running on the dyno this morning. He'll be back later this week so I'll take a pic then.

Picture, I'd rather see a video!!! Did it have the 351c still, if so was it worked much?
 
It's hard to take a video when you're running the dyno and typing a laptop. This Cleveland was stroked to 408 and had some ginormous port aussie heads.

Then you would like to drive my ZR1. If I turn off the active control and the traction control it starts looking for the ditches.
 
The ZR1 and Hellcat are fun but they are not "violent". They have a real linear power to them. Now put some twins on a 427ci LS based motor, you have a felony in the makings. ;)

6.0 head gasket? How much does your shop charge for that, with ARP studs of course. Just wondering ballpark price if that is OK, no big deal if you would rather not post it.
 
It costs about $6k do do the work using ARP studs and with an updated oil and EGR cooler.
