I have seen a bunch of them on the road in and around Houston now - and the car looked better in the car show situation where it was slightly at and above eye level.

In person on the street, the car looks a little ungainly and the "chopped top look" does not really have as nice a look as I originall thought.

I saw a road test on SpeedVision last week, and at least with TC turned off it is good for some wild outrageous rear-wheel drive action and mischief...

The early hemis (before they made the de-tuned street hemi) were 12.5:1 compression, the original ones put in a select few factory cars in 1964, which were meant for track only, but the cars were sold on showroom floors. They later detuned them for cudas, chargers, etc. down to 10.25:1
