What a car!
As they say where I'm from (MN), it takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar.

Fun fact - they went through over 250 Charger/Challenger's on the Dukes of Hazzard. Guess jumping the broken bridge wasn't good for them...true story.

Most people dont fully grasp how fast a 12 second car is.
I had a 78 Nova with what I thought was a 305 in it. I took the 305 out, put some rebuilt at the local vo-tech heads on it, and stuck it in my 77 Monza, only to find out at the DMV that it wasn't a 305, but a 72 400. I spent an entire summer building that car, with custom motor mounts, custom exhaust, had to weld a notch in the oil pan for the steering arm...
I twisted the frame on that Monza too. The Monzarati I called it.
Good times.

12.0 is pretty close to 115mph....not to shabby
