So I'm on my second Mopar. I had a '69 fastback Barracuda in the late 90's which had a 318, and now I have a '66 Satellite with another 318 (this time a poly). Both were/are hopped up and leave all the everyday cars for dead (the Barracuda was in the UK where a big engine was 2 litres).
I've dreamed of having a Hemi powered car since I was a kid, and now could probably afford one, but what are they like to drive? Obviously to own they are something special, just knowing what's under the hood, but is the driving experience going to be world's apart from what I have now? My poly has plenty of grunt (for me), could probably run a quarter in the mid 14"s, and sounds pretty good. Can the guys out there with hemi cars, who grew up with them and own them now, describe the experience and what I'm missing out on? I've watched videos on YouTube but you can't really tell.
