Back in their day they were 200mph cars on the track weren't they?Now let's see them throw the same treatment into a Daytona or Superbird. :mrgreen:
I don't think they were hitting 200mph back then? 160-170's maybe?Back in their day they were 200mph cars on the track weren't they?
I know the AERO cars are why the started running smaller motors and limiting the body shapes to slow cars down.I don't think they were hitting 200mph back then? 160-170's maybe?

One of the more interesting chapters in technological history was the 1969 Dodge Daytona. This vehicle had a drag coefficient (cd) of just 0.28, better than most cars made today. It would have produced even less drag, if it weren't for the tall spoiler (added to keep the rear wheels on the ground at high speeds). But, despite its 200 mph speed record (set by Buddy Baker on March 24, 1970, at 200.447 mph around Talladega), the car didn't sell well because people thought the aero look was ugly! The price, about $4,000, was high, but not insane.
