Roadrunner Superbird competition

Ah, the Superbird was the first car that I ever raced in Gran Turismo 4 at a nephew's house and ultimately turned me on to the game.
I liked to setup custom races with Japanese sports cars and blow their doors off even on their own turf alu Tsukuba and Suzuka. The Big Bird handled surprisingly well but the fun really began once you hit the straights. Gotta love old school muscle!

@ Viking, BR2', and Iggz: These cars looked so strange in their day, their oddball styling kept them in dealerships for up to 2 years before finally being bought, they look weird, but at the same time, cool. Richard Petty, probably the greatest stock car race driver raced in one of these, or a Dodge Charger Daytona. They made the wing that tall so that the driver could open the trunk lid, but it still couldn't open that wide.

@ Viking: I usually forget factory color names, but Chrysler made many of their color names unique and easy to remember. IMO: Sublime Lime Green, Plum Crazy Purple, Hemi Orange, along with some newer ones like Stone White mom has a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan that color, Bright White, like my 2008 Dodge Dakota, I once saw a 2013 Dodge Dart in Laguna Blue at my local Chrysler dealership, I like it, the color really pops, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Deepwater Blue Crystal Pearl, Clearwater Blue Crystal Pearl, True Blue Pearl. Colorful names. ;)

@ Viking: You won't believe this, as you know, only around 500 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbirds were produced, but as young as I am, I've seen 2, a red one at a car show when I was 17, and one in Sublime Lime Green last year in central Georgia somewhere south of Hazelhurst when I was on my way to Jacksonville Florida sometime just after Christmas.

Ahh, the Superbird. This brings back some memories. One of my neighbors had a pea green Superbird in the early 1970s. The wing was rear fender mounted as I recall and had to be that tall in order to allow room for the trunk to open fully. Of course it also gave it clean air for best effectiveness for the ones used in NASCAR. It is too bad NASCAR changed the rules in order to make such cars obsolete. Hard to imagine now that prior to 1974 NASCAR race cars were based on real stock cars.
