Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Let me get this straight (hard not to since it is in writing). You have a new Camaro and a Challenger. You are working on getting a Mustang. This is just not right to have that much fun! You surely must have a modicum of guilt. Right? :D

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

no, we haven't. but there is a reason for that. The car is a real 427/435, not going to cut it up. we can grind the roll bar out but you have to hack up a fair amount of stuff to put a straight axle in one. Also the car has been a 1.34 60' and over 132mph at A/SA weight so I don't think the rear hinders the car at all, there is a lot of engineering in making the IRS function efficiently.

Yes, because putting a live axle under the car will obviously make it 5 tenths faster. :rolleyes:

Found your problem

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

How about we re-class every car in stock. Instead of creating a new class, everyone could move down one class but keep the same weights. A/S become B/S AA becomes A, and so forth.

Then at the top, the proposed A/FX class could just be AA. Then NHRA could correct or adjust the Natural class numbers such that all of the 6.1 Challengers and Blown Cobrajets have to run in AA and A(Even though the Cobrajets are much further form being classed correctly, NO challenger will run 9.40's). The 5.7 and 5.9 could be corrected/adjusted as well so that they would be classed for the the new B/SA(for the 5.7) and D/SA(for the 5.9) where they could run side by side with all the old muscle that we all love.

I do think that the blow cobrajets however may need to have a AA/SA-C for themselves because they will have to have to be near 4000lbs before you could get the factor correct, so I say put them in there own class.

This is my hypothesis / theory....

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

I think the DP cars and and CJ's without blowers should stay in stock. The blown CJ's belong in SS with a realistic HP rating. As of 9/28/10 AA/S and AA/SA index is now 10.60....:eek:

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

If NHRA lowered the AA index's it dosent help the older cars one bit. All it means is the blown Mustangs will have to step on it if they want more HP.

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Wrong...If you are going to hate the cars, then at least know what you hate.

The original/delivered rear axle is a Mopar built axle (I sold mine for $450)... and this one lets us run a 4 link rear, and the tranny is all full of gears... I still have a beautiful shiny new Viper tranny I got in my car, sitting in my office. We are polishing the case to go into my retro 70 Challenger 6.1 coupe.

I am not trying to stir the pot as some may be, I am just trying to keep the facts right.

But for those of you who simply wish to ignore any facts.................. then .... well... uh..... sorry for bothering you....

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Well you got yourself a rare one then, because the DP cars were sent out with a caravan rear axle and last time i checked i didn't think you could attach a driveshaft to them LOL! and as for the trans well lets just say your not going racing with it unless your racing against farm tractors.
