What about that Fox bodied Mustang Car Craft built to go 200 10+? years ago?

I know that car's not as much as an aerodynamic brick as a first gen Camaro, but as I remember they did pull it off with not to many body mods other than duct tape.

I would rather see the Mule go 75MPH on a raceway or autocross event than watching it go 200mph on a huge oval track. If I wanted to see something go 200mph I would watch Nascar. Why risk Charlies life or destroy the Mule by going 200mph. We know its capable of it and the dyno video was cool enough for me. The drive by on the 2005 power tour video was cool too. I like that one the best so far. Thanks for sharing it.

I bet the Mule could jump Snake River if you got it going fast enough, I however, will leave that the the Kenevil Family. I could also wipe my butt with the Abraham Lincoln letter I possess,it is paper after all, but I won't. The Mule has not one damn thing to impress me any further with. It is the the preeminent Bad Ass Pro Touring 69 .

Period.

I thought I recognized the razzing replies. I am pretty sure this is Yody from Pro-Touring. Welcome to the site Cody.
Yes I would like to see video of it driving around with all the missing parts.

LOL!!!!

Dam! I gotta get a new monitor now! I lost it on the snake river thing! lol..

This site is so cool! *Don't drink soda looking at this site* PEEEWF!

Kidding put to the side,the mule is the king of pro-touring,and if it does 200
or 25 its a awesome build and pro-touring/hot-rodding at its best! Its
cars like the mule that keep the hobby interesting and enjoyable for all
and where the hobby is today.

Awesome car again!!

Now,if only jody would get his butt in gear on his 69 project

Remember jody--less work-more fun---less work--more toys--less work,oops
my wife came in..ok a little work!

Who cares? We already know that it has over 1000hp, watching it on the dyno is boring. I wanna see it on the track!! I did see the videos of it on powertour which was really cool. Glad to see its being driven,(not that any of charlies cars don't get driven) Common Charlie! get that car back and lets see some real videos!! Or are you chicken .....woops.... did i say that? Sounds like there are more plans in store for the mule, I can't wait to see! Hopefully it involves some real life racing!
You always seem to have a way with balancing your insults with compliments to try and make the insults OK. Dyno Queen ? Lemme see. I have driven it on the last 3 Power Tours and I think I've put about 8000 miles on it. I think the video of the engine in the car on the dyno pulling 6th gear while watching the headers glow bright red was pretty awsome. It has been on a chassis dyno twice since being built and it is a dyno queen ? Maybe you have watched the video too many times and your perspective is slanted toward thinking it spends all it's time there. If I get it to a track and have a chance to make a video that will be great but it is not high on my priorty list.

I would say that pretty much sums it up....

It never ceases to amaze me the inferences and purely irresponsible speculation that people make into "Fact", and based off of a couple of videos .....8000 miles is hardly a dyno queen in my book....and the fact that the car was originally built by someone who has done more laps around the "'Ring" short of a full time European racer, and has probably forgotton more about suspension tuning and development that anyone here will ever know, leaves no doubt in my mind as the pedigree, and performance capability of the car...Does Clill have to go 200 in the Silver State with the car to impress me? Not a chance. I appreciate it for what it is, an finely engineered automobile, and one that I would love to own.

As far as the "Chicken" comment...Grow up or get lost, this is a very tight community, and that stuff doesn't fly here....end of story.

It does amaze me how people think they get to determine how someone elses car should be built, driven, etc.
