As the current owner of an original Dodge Ramcharger 425hp 13.5 car I enjoyed the comments regarding what they are like to drive on the street.
Oh yes - Truth be told is certainly correct.
What were they like to drive on the street? Truth be told, with their aggressive cam specs the high compression Max Wedge cars were a bit of a handful, and they were also much more maintenance-intensive than one would expect from a daily driver. It was partly for this reason that, even after dropping to a 12.5:1 ratio for 1964, Chrysler decided to go back to its Hemi heritage.

Hi all,
Some weekend reading for ya. It's a generalized overview from a non-Mopar
source with some fun photos.
Their definition of "affordable" may differ from yours. :)
