You guessed right. We picked up the car and once back to the shop, our Dodge dealer parts Mgr stopped by to pick up the check.

Must be an old photo, rear end with out the cage is 100% useless. Advertised as coming with the broken 6 speed tremec most have received. Roush green recycling program, 6 speed fallout from the street r/ts and Srt's. Collectible car no doubt. Useable race car not enough info.


Anyone see the car in person?

Hopefully the new owner got a car that was finished by one of the few that know what they are doing with these kit-car projects....otherwise name it.

We were one of the "Lucky" ones we goot a good current model 6 gear , without issues I dont think its ever been run, no blown 2nd syncro, looks new never run. Even Mike was suprised, some apprarently went out this way without "cores" we ordered an Auto but got a GOOD 6 gear....how funny.

Cheers

Yes I was talking about the one at Mecum. I really dont know what condition its in. I do see the AEM on the fender well and headers. But as far as the fuel rails mine are stock also.. Maybe I can get more HP if i change them LOL.. It also says Goodyear slicks. but shows only transport tires in photos

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Not the fuel rails the 3/8 rubber line, no clamps and single in no out, with the pressure gauge just kinda hanging there.......youre really running a returnless system with the Fast ? How are you modulating pump pressure ? Im ASSUMING you are running at least a -8 on the fuel line, and maybe like us a -10, youre not running the brown tips either. I have seen 2 or 3 cars that shipped with them, Id be pissed as they need changed for at least the 48lb injectors which do atomize better than the higher rated injector if you supply em with around 72...Cant tell me your pulling of 9.74's at your weight with a -6 or smaller fuel line, no way with as thirsty as yours has to be.

Obviously you can run a closed circuit, we did in testing for the FI system, but there are obvious benefits in an open circut system.

I think the "Goodyear Slicks" were also originally listed on the Mopar spec, before things changed....

Where did you see that Irv ?

Are you talking about the one at Mecum or another one ?

If youre talking about the one at Mecum

I consider myself a HACK, no delusions there, Im 200% over function over appearnace and will take shortcuts on looks and other details if they dont affect performance or safety.

But the one at Mecum, take a look at the fuel system, thats no good for anything over about 500horse, not the rails, the line and ...... ayyyyeeee.....I wouldnt drive a rig setup like that to 711....No alternator, stock pulley on WP, Stock SRT8 Injectors (brown tips)

AEM Mounted up on inner fender.

Maybe all this was just temporary to run the car ? Or run it at the block so maybe someone would be amazed by the sound ?, I feel bad even posting this, I dont want to dig on someone elses job, I would however like to know the reason if anyone know why it was done this way if someone knows the story on this car....

Cheers (and sorry if I offended the person that did that to the car, like I said there may have been a reason, and not that I havent done things like that for a given reason)

No sound deadner or sealer my ***......
