Re: A couple of thought about the new cars.
 

if these cars are factory experimental i think the factory failed the experiment.i payed 25k for a body in white and a engine that kicks rods above 6 grand and 20k for a tag on the strut tower.
i bet if you got a 68 hemi cuda from the dealer you could race it that night.

this is my thought on these cars.....a joke

Re: A couple of thought about the new cars.
 

You could try if it didn't blow up in your garage. Everybody learned very quickly to take it home ,tear it down and check everything. Everybody can tell you---No 68 cuda or dart were race ready when you picked it up. The motors were thrown together , thrown in the car and pushed into the lot to be picked up at the factory.

Jake Lamata your a crook.

Re: A couple of thought about the new cars.
 

Could somebody answer the question on why a Dodge Challenger ( showroom stock , streetable, complete, driveable as delivered with a VIN number) was never submitted to the NHRA by Chrysler . Why would you submit half a car that has nothing to do with what they are selling in the showroom and submit a HP rating so low that nobody believed it but NHRA. And NHRA puts it in STOCK !!!!!!! WHO IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE ?:eek:

Dan Dvorak must be finding this whole season very amusing.:rolleyes:

Re: A couple of thought about the new cars.
 

Well, for one, the factory advertises the SRT8 at 425 hp. With that rating, it would never be competitive in Stock. Why you ask? Simple. No compression, no 1000 cfm throttle body, no .560" lift camshaft, or SS-style intake manifold. Not to mention all the other components that wouldn't exactly survive in a Stocker (IRS, rear differential, trans, etc...).

Even if it were de-factored, what good does that do Mopar? That car wouldn't look nearly as impressive ET-wise as a DP car does and, let's face it, the average guy in the stands doesn't know the difference between a 6.1 DP and a 6.1 SRT8 engine. To them it's just a "Hemi Challenger."

Allow me to paraphrase. "without a distinct advantage, the factory doesn't want to play"

Re: A couple of thought about the new cars.
 

Since I'm back with the old car, would yall just throw it in the toilet? Any car that is faster than any other car should be factored. Simple. Refer to my earlier post.

Stewart, I'm down for a while. Please call John Morris (my crew chief) or Kevin and he and John can get you what you want. The 'special ice' really improved the Absolute Red Apple with Ginger. Especially after Sunday afternoon. I appreciate the help.
