By "brand loyalty", are you refering to the German Damlier/Chrysler, or the Italian Fiat/Chrysler? Are you towing with a Mexican built Dodge Ram truck? Just curious.

Rory,
You left out his 622 Indy motor that has a few Chevy parts in it.

Wow lots of drama here...LOL. Gotta love the winter.

Not sure but I think this is a video of the new 2011 Corvette AA/SA stocker turning on the return road and going back to tech....FF to .33 seconds ...HAHAHA

Very impressed with the Fords and Mopars in stock but im die hard bowtie and im hoping that the general is in the bushes waiting to pounce with a lighter, smaller, and less "Cadillac like" (TANK) Camaro :)

Yea, sometimes the beer let's the *** out of me when I see someone post something that rubs me the wrong way. The 64 I was interested in was the red on red four speed car that was for sale not long ago. Galien documented it, and it looked like a nice resto, but there were some tacky things done that I didn't like, and one of the issues was the electric cut outs that they put on the exhaust dumps. I know where there is an AAR that sits under a swimming pool cover that I have been trying to buy for years now; Of course the guy wants a fortune for it and he is allegedly going to restore it one day with the box of Wal-Mart tools he has sitting under his carport. I know where there are a few nice original cars but like you said BJ has made Mom and Pop think there rusty car is worth $5000.00. Got a deal not long ago at a farm not far from here; Bought a 63 330 from a old man for $300.00. Solid old car. Drove it up on the trailer after I bought it. The cars are still out there. The Dart runs in the 4 second range: I prefer the 1/4 but most 10.5 and the Quick 16 and 8 races are usually the 1/8 I have ran as fast as 6.98 but she runs mid to low 7's all day long. The 6.98 was an out of control keep it off the wall run that made me check my drawers after I shut it down. I try to make alot of the outlaw races in Ms, Al, La, Ga. I'd have to say for pure excitement and the crowds Huntsville, and Hattiesburg are a couple of my favorite tracks. We have a nice outlaw track about 20 miles from the house in the Lucas community that packs 'em in on the weekend. Good people, good money, great racers. Hopefully we can do as well with the stocker we are building..We'll see.

I know about all that but what can you do when the new stuff gets farmed out. Grandma Mopar still gets my money, not GM or Ford. My dually was assembled in Mexico. My wifes hemified Durango is basically a Damlier/Benz/Dodge. All my older Dodge trucks were assembled in the USA, no , I do have an older 89 Ramcharger that was assembled in Mexico. My daily driver 98 CC dakota R/T one of the first 300 made was assembled in Michigan, but it was one of the trucks where the engine was assembled by one person. Still all stock, still running solid. I don't care where they assembled my R/T Challenger, it is just to damn pretty to worry about it. But, it's still all about the brand and the car. Most mopar guys just love the crap out of puttin' a ford or chevy back in the dog house. Doesn't mean we don't like you: We just don't like your cars.All my older cars are all Mopar, except for some of the reproduction parts I used to rebuild some of them, cause NOS was to hard to locate. Tell me you are running Chevy lifters, springs valves etc in your stocker. I don't think many stockers are running many stock parts in the engine.

Re: DP #1 V10 SS Challenger...?
 

Shhhh.... Ha-ha. We took those out of it after I scattered it during our first year out with it. It doesn't really have any corporate parts in it. You should know that. I think it got toasted because of the couple of chevy parts it did have. Now that they are gone it's held up fine. Being sarcastic here, don't get your bow-tie in a wad.

Re: DP #1 V10 SS Challenger...?
 

Well, I have brand loyalty with owning Dodge products and mine are all the real deal. :cool:

Re: DP #1 V10 SS Challenger...?
 

The only car I have that isn't almost all Mopar is the Outlaw Dart. But how many 10.5 cars do you see out there running stock anything. About the only stock part is the body. It's just a car to go out and have fun with and hopefully put some fords and chevies back in the trailer and maybe take a little cash home for my effort.
