Pinks

[Cuda340]

I enjoy watching the TV show "Pinks" on the (cable) Speed Channel.

Did you notice that the most common (non-rice) rides are 1980s Mustangs that were resurrected from the scrap pile and newer Camaros and Firebirds?

You never see older MOPARs (like 'Cudas, Challengers, Chargers, Road Runners, etc.) because they are true collectibles and no sane person would risk them in a "winner take all" race!

As I understand it on 12/28 they are supposed to have a Chevy vs. Dodge shootout. However, it is truck vs. truck.

I just caught a re-run episode of Pinks where two recycled 1980s Mustangs were going at it (naturally...no MOPARS).

During the negotiation stage, one of the Mustang drivers bargained not to use his NOS if the other would do the same (i.e., have a "heads-up" race). As it turned out, the first Mustang was bluffing and had a fake NOS bottle! It was the first time on the show that someone used blatent trickery to get an advantage. Who can you trust nowadays???

Just show up with a 2010 392 hemi SuperStock Challenger with 4:88 gears and start collecting pink slips. I just got a book for Christmas about 62-69 SuperStock mopars. My oh my, it was like sneakin' your first peak at a Playboy mag. when you were 14 years old!! (not that I ever did). I couldn't believe the cars one could buy right from the dealer that would run 11's practically stock! Those must have been some great times. LET'S DO IT AGAIN, DCX. Never mind about"can we sell hundreds of thousands of them". I can say for sure you would sell everyone you built!! PLEASE! Listen to us!!
