Reader’s Rides: Terry Couturier’s 1971 Plymouth Satellite
Today’s reader’s ride is Terry Couturier’s 1971 Plymouth Satellite, which he found in a barn eight years ago. It’s powered by a 360 which Terry rebuilt and stroked out to 408 cubic inches. After the jump I have pics of his son’s 1984 Ram and 2006 Ram.

Drag Strip Testing SRT Cars
Did you know that SRT puts its new cars through a rigorous test involving 100 runs at the drag strip in a single day?
Pass after pass completed until 50 is reached on three-season tires. Then drag tires are put on and the race to 50 begins again. This is all accomplished in a single day at the track.
This helps ensure that the drivetrain components are up the the task, and help Mopars dominate at the drag strip. Read the full article at DriveSRT.com
