You can get an R/T with the Road and Track package which adds all of the Daytona Package go fast and suspension bits without the decals and retina searing colors.

i think they changed the name a bit.

i remember it being called Go Mango, like the fruit.

when i was at the dealer last they called it something to the effect of Go Man Go, which is incorrect if its the original color.

i heard it was just the yellow from the neons transferred over because it was so close to Go Mango...

well, my dad currently had 5 chargers and a roadrunner.

one green 69 SE with a 440 6 pack and a 727 is done, green/green/green.

the b5 blue 69 RR is 1/2 way done. i have a pic here somewhere, i'll toss it up in a bit.

2 more 68's and another 2 69 chargers

one 69 R/T will be ready for the Cleveland Autorama dressed at the Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry Charger.

all will be 440's, most 4 speeds (a few auto's) either 6 packs, single 4's or dual quads.

i think i have a pic of the 69 for autorama.......

LOL alot of people in here clearly know nothing about cars... and also need to learn to read, if you had read my first post you would see that I got a custom built marauder and I paid 24k for it, 600hp hand built motor 9k miles on it... get me a faster car for that money. Some people LOL so actually I did alot better than I would of getting a cooperS since they aren't really minis anyway

all i have to say is... wow.. big twist in choice. very different than a MINI.

however, as long as you like, that's all that matters. I mean you're the one driving it and if you're happy . at least it wasn't an SUV

and I suppose 24k on a car that should have anout 100 recalls would have been a better choice... between engines made with no consistency, to interior rattle to bad glass, to bad ecu... need I got on? and my door isn't closed it's shut, just not closed since I had just taken my camera out other picture shows the door ajar... so keep talking. you spent the same money if not more on a bmw throwback so come now. I have a real mini, which is why I knew that the new one isn't worth paying sticker for get your mind right, and get your act up to par

What was wrong with Motor City MINI? I ordered from them, MSRP plus 175 for "dealership" paperwork. Of course, I have yet to receive my MINI, but it is in production (see my sig).

i dont see a problem with my 18k mini, it outhandles, out accelerates and just downright outperforms your "real mini"


....so, keep talking.

Cuz I drove in em rode in em been around em. Frankly they are nothing compared to the old ones, certainly not worth MSRP. Lets put it this way, if I was in the business of buying cars to sell em I'd get one, but I'm not. So paying 25K for a car that invoices at 18k was a stupid move to me, cuz I don't have that kind of turn around on my car, like I said my other mini is a 74' so a high resale value does me no good. so to me paying 7k over invoice is silly. Just not worth it at all, I'll pay 20k under sticker anyday.

I am sure the 85lb Chrome rims help the performance of your new beast!

To each their own, as stated if you are happy, than good for you. Personally, I would never drive such a ride, especially after owning a MINI, but good luck with it anyways!

who are you? My 74' is full race spec man, I'm pushing 300bhp fully re done suspension, full race head cam dual webber .45 carbs full disk brakes, fuel cell, on and on and on and on. My race weight is something like 1300lbs, no your mini will not out perform mine in any way shape or form, I have been racing this car since I was 11 years old... do you even know anything about cars?

Then I dunno why you came in here like you did, reading my first post would do alot of good. I have my mini, and this is a buyers market. I got my marauder off of the owner of VT engines who built the car for promotions and just had it sittin, I also live in michigan, so unless I'm on the track twisty speed doesn't mean a thing. They weren't willing to deal so I got a car that is roomy for me and My wife to be and our soon youngins. has enough power and torque to keep me smiling in every gear at any speed and was cheaper than the mini I wanted. And has a power to weight something to the efect of 7 pounds. And no my rims aren't crome, they are full billets
