    Der gute V8-Sauger funktioniert noch 50 Jahre später, der Turboschrott gibt nach 10-15 Jahren den Geist auf und der Elektroschrott stirbt nach 7-10 Jahren durch die Batterie... Die Fakten sind klar, aber unsere Politversagen machen das Gegenteil von der richtigen Entscheidung. Irgendwann muss der 1. Turbolader gewechselt werden und dann hat man beim V8-Sauger, der noch immer wie neu läuft, geringere Gesamtkosten. Der Rest vom Motor leidet schön darunter, dass der Turbolader Betrieb oos erzeugt.

    America is filled with embellished history. The Patriots of the revolutionary war. The old West cowboys. The recipe for what becomes legendary. From the gangsters of the Big Cities to the Hollywood stars of the far west. We as Americans love a good story. This young man told us one. It is a good mix of a little truth and a lot of conjecture. It makes a good story. And he has sold it. The car is now a legend and he has profited from the telling. It’s Americana. You got to love a good story Good on him. You don’t get mad at Billy the Kid. You don’t get angry at all the Hollywood Stars who’s lives were embellished to promote. Why get testy with the telling of the Black Ghost? After all. This is how most of us recall our stories of the past. So just enjoy the good tale.

    A lot of hype for an above average, and pretty rare, car. A Hemi Challenger is fast, but not unbeatable. The son embellished the story all the way to a million dollar pay off at auction. I hope he can sleep nights. I couldn't do business that way.

    This could be the biggest hoax of muscle car history. Sad really. Lets say the car was kind of a legend in the fathers mind but not truly that fast, given its rarity and that it had been in the family since new, the son is a jerk for selling it and not honouring what his father (maybe) said about not selling it.

Slicks ? what reason would that car need slicks ? Truly the guys who used to street race with hidden nitrous kits were more legendary then this ..

    A stock Hemi Challenger is a fun car to drive, but its a high 13 second car on a good day, and a low 14 second car on an average day - not exactly proper material for a street fighter at a time when there were legit 10 and 11 second street racers in the area. The story includes having a friend ride along during the races and telling Mr. Qualls when to shift. Supposedly the car has some imaginary mystery modification - that no one can identify because it is stone stock. God blessed the Qualls family with a million dollars at auction - due to the slickest auction muscle car advertising campaign ever: the son is a film maker who created some excitement around the car and managed to get the Black Ghost into numerous feature videos. 100% of Hemi Cudas and Challengers did some street racing, and they often got beat. In the '70's when I went to the street races in Los Angeles the Hemi cars were regarded as cars that worked best on a track with slicks. Yes, there were some solid Hemi street racers, not a bunch, but victory often went to lighter small block cars with deep gears - especially when running the street tires that were available at the time. I still like the Black Ghost, but can we please stop the charade that it dominated the streets.

UT's video was just the icing on top of the bubble bursting that a completely stock Hemi Challenger dominated the streets. When I went to the street races in Los Angeles in the 1970's there were some strong running Hemis like BW's Daytona, but on the streets it seemed like anything with an L88 was the more likely victor.

    Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!
