Why has nobody mentioned the worst thing in this picture?? that little girl is sitting on the door with her shorts, possibly with buttons, making direct contact with the paint on a priceless superbird. come on man.

on another note, i was never able to comprehend the magazines with the girls laying on the cars, I always thought, if that woman were to scratch my paint I swear...

@ManicSquirrel wants a Roomba with more torques: That's the daughter of the Superbird's owner, who was probably still flying high on his team's LeMons victory. He drives that car (yes, it's a real one, though not a Hemi) on the street very frequently. Reply

@Murilee Martin:

The "Big Block Z" Nissan was in the garage bay next to ours at Lemons South. The owner, Justin, is a cool dude with a shop in Camden (next to Kershaw). He was a big help to us as we repaired, repaired and repaired our Milano... lending us advice, tools and beer.

Anyway, one of the cool things about this car other than the awesome plywood wing is that Justin converted it to a carburetor intake. The fab work is awesome. See pic.

I'm not sure about the amount of down force (or lift) the wing generated... but you could definitely hear it on the front straight. The other cars rumbled down the track... the Z whistled!

@seatbelt123: Great picture and thanks for the info. Though it of course gives the rest of us an inferiority complex. Oh, yeah, he built this car. And he has an original superbird Roadrunner...and a nice family...and he's a nice helpful guy... Reply

@ManicSquirrel wants a Roomba with more torques: It may be a bit perverse, but the fact that the Superbird is being treated like an actual, oh I don't know... Car? is the most awesome part about this picture. Reply
