Torino weights more and has less powerful engine. And lost by only 1.5 sec.

Two latently gay detectives or two closet racists with a trust fund. Bleh, not much of choice. Where's Frank Bullit when you need him?

You can catch a glimpse of it at about 1:10 in this clip.

Shame about Robert Urich. He was a solid leading man on TV...and from all accounts, one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet, too.

Personally, I was always partial to his portrayal in this show.

I agree. I'd always heard he was a stand-up guy. I was shocked when he died as I thought he was in remission.

eventhough i loved the general lee as a a kid, I think the charger was nothing but a boat with a good engine, and a great promo machine via the duke boys. The mustang is much nicer throughout the years

That was the only reason I watched that show

Along with Bullitt, what about Smokey & the Bandit and that 6.6L T/A
