The nicest street machine ever?
The key design features of Bob Johnson's 1971 Plymouth Cuda were maintained, but the wheelbase was stretched three inches, and the windshield and backlight were moved rearwards by two inches. To my eyes, these changes serve to amplify the low-and-wide look of the original. Tucked under the carbon-fiber front body panels and sitting entirely behind the front axle is an aluminum 572-cube Hemi that produces an enormous 870 HP. A Corvette transaxle and suspension parts are used to route the power to the ground, where it reacts against a curb weight of only 2800 lbs. Consider that this vehicle is lighter than a Honda S2000 and has nearly four times the power, and one struggles to comprehend what it must be like to drop the hammer. Popular Hot Rodding believes that this cuda is the "best ever".
