What rear suspension is being used to swap out the IRS. Anybody got pic's of there converses yet ? Ken R.

He wants $65,000 and quotes...
"BUY THIS CAR TODAY FOR SLIGHTLY ABOVE MY COST AND ITS YOURS.MY COSTS INCLUDED THE SALES TAX AND DELIVERY I PAID"

I know what the car cost. He wants to get "SLIGHTLY ABOVE MY COST" How much "SLIGHTLY" did he pay for delivery?

You guessed right. We picked up the car and once back to the shop, our Dodge dealer parts Mgr stopped by to pick up the check.

Must be an old photo, rear end with out the cage is 100% useless. Advertised as coming with the broken 6 speed tremec most have received. Roush green recycling program, 6 speed fallout from the street r/ts and Srt's. Collectible car no doubt. Useable race car not enough info.


Anyone see the car in person?

Hopefully the new owner got a car that was finished by one of the few that know what they are doing with these kit-car projects....otherwise name it.

Where did you see that Irv ?

Are you talking about the one at Mecum or another one ?

If youre talking about the one at Mecum

I consider myself a HACK, no delusions there, Im 200% over function over appearnace and will take shortcuts on looks and other details if they dont affect performance or safety.

But the one at Mecum, take a look at the fuel system, thats no good for anything over about 500horse, not the rails, the line and ...... ayyyyeeee.....I wouldnt drive a rig setup like that to 711....No alternator, stock pulley on WP, Stock SRT8 Injectors (brown tips)

AEM Mounted up on inner fender.

Maybe all this was just temporary to run the car ? Or run it at the block so maybe someone would be amazed by the sound ?, I feel bad even posting this, I dont want to dig on someone elses job, I would however like to know the reason if anyone know why it was done this way if someone knows the story on this car....

Cheers (and sorry if I offended the person that did that to the car, like I said there may have been a reason, and not that I havent done things like that for a given reason)

No sound deadner or sealer my ***......

We were one of the "Lucky" ones we goot a good current model 6 gear , without issues I dont think its ever been run, no blown 2nd syncro, looks new never run. Even Mike was suprised, some apprarently went out this way without "cores" we ordered an Auto but got a GOOD 6 gear....how funny.

Cheers
