I agree with Jeff. Unless you are a MOPAR nut why would anybody buy a DP over a CJ (quote)



Or, some are not as fond of Cookie Cutter cars like the CJ's, and wish to somewhat do their own builds? Adds a more personal challenge I am sure!

TRUE ! But the NEW blood that people think these cars will bring in WILL NOT and/or CAN"T do the work themselves. Only the current racers are going to build these cars!

How many of these cars campained currently are new blood?

Re: Looking for a new Mustang or Challenger
 

Mustangs ? I have no idea

Challengers Id say well over 50% are NEW 100% NEW to Class racing.

2 here, and I can list 25 more DP owners JUST off the top of my head.

So I think the statment is innacurate at least on the DP side of the world.

CJ ? No idea whatsoever.

Re: Looking for a new Mustang or Challenger
 

Count me as one of the new nuts!!!!! Bracket raced for years until now and I went to my Dodge dealer and put in my papers for a Challenger Drag Pak... Not expecting much and for what Chrysler went thru not expecting any of them to be built... But got a call one day and I'm on the list!!!!!!!! And yes a nobody can get one!!!!!!! I'm a great example of that!!!!!

C'mon Mack you're not a nobody. You're a nobody with MONEY!!!:D

Re: Looking for a new Mustang or Challenger
 

Lol....thanks.

You know however your post did give me pretty solid food for thought, on the Mustang side how many are new ? We all know the DP scene pretty well, but on the Mustang side how many are / were established racers ? The DP's have their names, Johnson, Garlits, Caughlin, Duell, Warfords, Johns and on who were long established racer. BUT the DP list also contains a lot of other names that are "Huh?" "Who?" Like us.

Anyone have a list of CJ owners like I started here for the DP cars a while back ?

The mustangs have me very curious and they are sweet machines having a chance to be up close and personal and get trounced by Rock this week in testing :) But very very well done machines.

Id love to see how many CJ's get tracked long term and how many get stuffed in a ziploc baggie for future investment.

In a way the DP cars are neat that way theyre wortless (retail) not completed.

Its a pleasure Junior to be amonst so many other with so few marbles as ourselves. Kinda like a homecoming :)

I'm new blood . . . on the list for 2010 DP #16 . . . coming from road racing, still trying to decide whether it is the right move for me.
