"DRAG PACK" Challenger gets NHRA approval

rx dealer · 03-04-2009, 02:02 PM

The challenger got the "nod" yesterday. Lets get the 6.1L Hemi go head to head with the CJ Mustang, and also the camaro package is dead. ( that's PERIOD )...Luke

What do you mean (the camaro pkg is dead)

Ed Fernandez · 03-04-2009, 02:18 PM

I guess you mean GM will not release the body in white cars?Maybe I'm wrong but if GM presented the argument to the government that these cars are only a body with no implied warranty that would be sold for pure profit I can't see any objection to letting them market them.Build,sell,no warranty,future parts sales with no warranty.Pure profit and free advertising.
Let's hope that the Challengers will bring the CJ's out in the open and factored a little more real world.

The guys ( NHRA ) were in Auburn Hills yesterday for a final look and it's a done deal. This is going to be good HEMI vs. COBRA JET, let the whining begin...Luke

If they build a new Camaro for SALE to the public, there WILL be a camaro to race the "other two"
Some one will build one or 10 or 50 what ever it takes.
From what I heard it is gigantic compared to the old ones so maybe just put them all in TOP/STK and let them see if a 69 Camaro can handle them... I could see me being re interested in racing if that could happen. I imagine someone would like a new Vette better but A camaro would be a more parallel car.

dick ,if they let the zo6 in,how loud would everyone cry...i dont see any way the new hemi will run with the new stang unless nhra allows it in a colt...

So far, I haven't seen a new hemi I would call fast. 13 seconds off the show room floor at best. Do they have something new? The new Cobra Jet would turn one of those things every way but loose.

Ed,

FYI,

"Judy was .08 quicker at the 1000 so she would have ran a 11.16 or faster. corrected to sub 10.50."

This was from a post in reference to the race Judy Lily had with Don Garlits at the Mile Highs.
