I have to agree that my Cuda drives way nicer then any OE restored car that I've done.....I think rack and pinion steering has to be the biggest improvement  :alan2cents:
What rack did you use?
It came with the RMS kit, I believe it's a Flaming River. Power. :bigthumb:
Something built to work with RMS then? Not something someone could buy and fit to a QA1 K-member?

I think the racks are all the same based on a Mustang II geometry . They just have the two mounting points..

$187K is nothing to sneeze at, I really thought it would have gone for more....The building seemed empty tonight ? A LOT of cars are not hitting their "estimates" ::)

Is it just me that thinks they parked over a dip in the pavement so the low hanging exhaust would not look as close to the ground?

Certainly looks that way. Should have got a good exhaust shop to do the piping rather have the end result look like that. Makes you think..hmmm...what other shortcuts did they take.

To me, it looks like those headpipes are that low to clear that aftermarket crossbar.
