![]() Every manufacturer can just about build a perfect car, but its a much harder job to make them all that way. Actually, its impossible to make them all that way. Every manufacturer has problem cars, even the most expensive, most highly developed hand built cars have issues from time to time. |

Them being stuck on the wharf only caused the rust issues they suffered with. CAL did do a little development work with them (private testing)...The person doing the testing advised the heirachy that fitting a 265 was to dangerous for the general public, hence sticking with the 245 as the biggest factory option. (even fitting that was "balked" at) Hence the reason behind no race history.... Weight wise, I have never compared.....But yes, fitting 265's to them is enough to run a similar spec Charger and wooping it. These days I know a bloke that uses a 318 powered Centura for burnout comps every now and then.....First meet (Gazzanats 3 years ago), he just re-rung the motor, slotted a decent carb and manifold on and made it to the top 10.....He's now talking stroker 318 and 1/4 mile running....Should be interesting to say the least... ![]()
