Missqoted, misspoken, which one, lol

Not so rare, mine too? Viper trans, irs.!

9 people in hand(some recent deletions (was 10)) and 189 birds in the bush is not a very convincing ratio. 5% only, willing to go to print, lol. Not a very good backing on dissing the Drag Pak's and FR500CJ's?

The new cars will get lots of attention from younger buyers!

Yeah, I'm sure those 20 somethings will go out and buy an $85K car. Because if they buy a production two ton Challenger, they're going to be just a little disappointed.

Peter,

I agree with you, but there are many more Camaros being sold than Mustangs and especially the Challengers. The NHRA experiment isn't having the sales impact for the Mustangs and Challengers that marketing through movies like Transformers seemed to help the Camaros.

I could be totally wrong about what is driving the sales, but I am not wrong about the Camaro outselling the other two and they aren't fielding an FX car.

Default Re:New Weight Breaks

What needs to be done is NHRA should start the weight breaks at 6.0 for "A", 6.5 for "B", or so on up. Todays "A" cars would be an "E" and this way the new cars could be factored to a more correct horsepower and not have to weigh 4000 pounds. Plus, look at how busy all the letter makers would be over the winter. Simple solution to a complex problem. Dyno

Great thought Dyno except it would still requier NHRA to place proper horse power on the new cars.
