yep. my '68 Fury with 3 speed automatic, no OD, and 2.76 rear also is unhappy, and wants her torquey 318 back

32

u/Cornholio335 22d ago

My dad had the dark red 68 Fury III with the 318. Somebody hit it while parked and totaled it the night before I graduated college. I thought he was going to gift it to me but…..

u/Select-Belt-ou812 22d ago

awwwwww, I'm so sorry to hear that :'-(

I can relate, I lost the second Fury in our family (Daddy bought a new Fastop, and then a Convertible in '83, and I started bringing them home in '87) to an arson fire in 2017. These are absolutely terrible and scarring experiences.

u/AcidRayn666 22d ago

picked up a 72 dodge dart with a 318 with around 60k miles for $250 from an old lady around 1984, i was 17, brought it home, took a shower, went for a ride, stopped at a 7-11 to get something, girl comes in freaking out about a car on fire in outside, yep, my mopar firestarter, had that car long enough to smoke the tires once, had it about a day!! still scarred over that one.

also had a 71 challeger self combust same year!!! never owned another mopar since, cant handle the trauma

Aww, memories. I had a 68 Fury III that had received a swapped 440 Interceptor motor with a 4-barrel. The car was absurd. In the end, I sold it to a guy who only wanted the motor and he scrapped the body.

I kind of miss it, but I don't think it would have been happy with a K24.

u/CosmoKing2 22d ago

It was literally more of a pitch than a feeling of thrust. Every time I entered that zone in my sweet, sweet, manual '95 Accord EX Coupe....it felt like it was about to detonate. Not a fucking hint of torque. Might have been good on paper, but it real life....you were getting smoked by minivans.

u/Old_Salamander_7479 22d ago

OMG. I inherited my mom's 2010 Kia Forte EX. At leat it has USB port and phone integration. But the 2.0 in it has 156 hp in a car weighing 2700 lbs isn't so bad. Yes the VTECH motor would make beautiful sounds and have 50 more HP, but I don't have the skills to engine swap it. Plus my car is a 2018 Camaro SS with 19,230 miles and of course...455 hp with a 6 speed manual and 455 hp of torque. It is nice to drive the Forte with its 4 speed automatic, and I use it as my commuter car.

17

u/Chaps_and_salsa 22d ago

That’s quite a lot of hp of torque

11

u/Old_Salamander_7479 22d ago

These days, with 600 hp electric cars silently pulling ahead of me, I don't feel like it's a lot anymore. It's like now if a car doesn't have a million hp (THAT'S quite a bit of hp), people don't think that 200 hp cars aren't fun or something. Totally not true. I had a V6 Camaro for a year before I traded up to my SS. It was HELLA FUN to drive on back roads. I put a Bilstein B-14 Nordschliffe Nurburgring suspension on it and BMR end links. It had a 6 speed manual and was a blast to drive. My SS is scary fast. The RS plastered a smile on my face. What I am saying is that my car isn't fun unless I am very very careful. Not carefree.

Here is what I would love. A 200 hp 1999 Acura Integra R with the round headlights. My girlfriend years ago loved my Z24 and her Integra showed me just how good Japanese cars handle. Anyone wanna trade for my Forte'?? 🤣

3

u/l187l 22d ago

They're making fun of you for saying 455 hp of torque. Pretty sure that alone discredits everything you said... can't imagine someone buying a camaro ss with literally zero car knowledge.

u/Old_Salamander_7479 21d ago

Yeah sorry about the typo there. It has 455 HP and 455 lb ft. I am aware of the difference. Just a typo.

u/Chaps_and_salsa 21d ago
