Saw a yellow R/T yesterday on the eastbound 60. It had black painted rims, a huge old school-styled hood scoop (with a "360" emblem on it) and single exhaust poking through the body just ahead of the right/rear wheel. I sped up and paced him for awhile but it looked like the driver had tunnel vision and didn't notice me, or didn't care. He sped up to about 80 and I lost him in the traffic.

Anyone know?

Saw another yellow R/T today on the 101 south approaching 202. This one was an RC with no rear bumper or rollpan.

Yours was the first one I ever spotted out here.. and that was like a year before I even lived here! :D

Actually, it's pretty unusual that I'm driving around here these days, I've been out of town more than in town for work. :bs:

Oh yeah. I heard your truck leave. Sounds goood!

Does anyone remember when this thing is supposed to go down? I wanna try to have my turbo on by then.

i'm not to sure but i think its the 24-26 of april but i'm not to sure. and with your turbo did you have to have a custom exhaust made wat . cause i'm new to the whole turbo V8 thing

Good schnit. I'll be there.

Yeah, I have to redo most of my exhaust. Since the exhaust comes out of the back of the turbo, it has to come down, out of the engine bay, and out to the back of the truck. I'll probably just have mine exit in front of the rear passenger wheel or maybe I'll just dump it. We'll see. Another good reason to redo your exhaust after a turbo install is because the factory exhaust isn't big enough. It'll do, but I'd rather go up to a 3" pipe to get the gasses out more efficiently.:biggthumpup:

I'm actually doing everything myself, cause I'm broke.:jester: But if you need any help, just let me know.

MINE......... sporting AAR cuda stripe and black 20". Easy to be sure its me as the plates say DAKCUDA. Been building it since January when I picked it up in Tennesse. What a foolish 1900 mile road trip back. She's got fresh paint, fresh trans, fresh a/c system and a frame off suspension rebuild up front. Started out as a California truck then got wholesaled by a dealer in Utah to the guy I got her from in Bristole. Can't say its been all an enjoyable ride as the term Money pit comes to mind.........but always wanted a yellow R/T ! Who's the local R/T performance guru in Arizona. Do you know of a R/T club locally???
