I wonder if he could have been able to hit more than one bird while he was in the air for that long

You don't need any mods. You just only get one try. Oh yeah, you should probably think about mods to your auto and life insurance policies.

I can't see it there so I added it here...

Over 330 ft is insane, and yet it landed perfectly (regardless of the slight angle). They sure have that suspension tuned nicely, landed very soft with absolutely zero bounce. I guess King bypass shocks and coilovers in every corner would help with that. I think it's funny how they built the ramp instead of just getting a big run at it.

I dunno, seems the Dukes were making these types of jumps in the General Lee

Ya except the General Lee would be destroyed on a jump like that.... It would do it once, but never be driven again most likely. God that landing would hurt with stock suspension.

That Hot Wheels truck could do that jump 100 times and never know the difference.

An old K5 would need about $80,000 of work done to it to make that jump and survive... Actually should probably just start off with a tube frame and make it look like a K5 with fiberglass body panels...

They went through hundreds of General Lee's on that show. Almost every time they jumped it they had to trash it and get a new one. So sad that so many chargers were lost to such a cause... Great memories though! LOL

And it would take A LOT of money. A cheap Trophy truck is like $250,000 and they get up to a half a million or more. I'm sure this is a bit more R&D and tuning than a standard trophy truck requires too

You can see where the frame is broken after that first jump. That was that cars last take... HOW MANY BEAUTIFUL CARS MUST WE DESTROY FOR OUR OWN AMUSEMENT... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[RootBreaker]

forget suspension mods!!!!!!

im crazy at best but would have to grow a huge set of balls to tackle that jump!!!!!!!!

 

[kgblazerfive]

Wade's could do it
