Was getting tired of being called a truck… haha.

Its not so bad on the 6 speed cars because they sound fantastic running through the gears, but the auto shifting up into 4th by 30mph just sounds yuck with a loud exhaust.

The magnaflow is pretty tame at idle and cruising and still screams at WOT.

17 x 8 Cragar SS 3.5 backspacing and 245/45/17 on all four. the rear of the car is higher so it may just be an optical illusion thing. everyone and their mom does TT II’s on these cars… I always wanted cragar SS’s so i got them in 17’s cause no one rocks them in 17’s. i would have liked to gone with the aluminum versions but they were a lil to expensive for me. these ones are heavy as shit. like 40lbs

Holy shit that’s heavy…that has to be with rubber on them, otherwise that’d be almost 60-62lbs with tires? Rotating weight FTL…but at least you have torque to turn them…I do not.

I am guessing that is just the Wheels if they are steel. Aluminum cragers are about 25-32 lbs I believe.

Why do pople insist on calling Torque Thrusts (and sometimes Cragars) “Bullitt” wheels. Fucking Ford just copied American Racing’s design. They’ve been around for decades, but Ford puts 'em on a Shitstain and now they’re “Bullitt wheels.” :squint:

Because saying “Bullitt’s” is a lot easier than saying “Hey Russ, what Make and Model are your black wheels? Cragar’s? Torq Thrusts, or Ford Knock Offs?”

Also the fact that they are black with a polished wheel, they more closely resemble a Bullitt wheel than a typical Torq Thrust wheel.

And yes, I am aware that they have been around for a lot longer than 01 with the Bullit. My dad’s 70 Coronet had “Bullitts” on it when he owned it in 81.
