Re: Factory Showdown at INDY
Very interesting facts and super statistics, BUT the Challengers with 6.4, 5.9 and 6.1 cant I dont think get to their weight and if they could all they will do is spin. I am speaking for my car in that I cant get lower than 3200 and at that it will blow the tires off...
Do those weights include driver or plus 170lbs ??? |

Re: Factory Showdown at INDY
Drew Skillman went 5.70 @ 121 at 3600 lbs. That's a quick enough 1/8th mile for low 8.90s easily. Add 75 lbs and it's still an 8.9x. I just don't see any N/A car going that quick, especially since I doubt any of the V-8s can get to 3000 lbs.

Re: Factory Showdown at INDY
Andrew , thats was at ADRL and I they geared the cars a lot different . The car was setup up for 1/8 mile only and cant run that combo in the 1/4 mile . Butner , Skillman and Fezzel have all run in the 8.90"s in the quarter mile but all at a minimum of 3361lbs

Re: Factory Showdown at INDY
Things that make you go hummmmm. Very nice write up btw, but Barton went 9.67 with a 6.1 in A/SA (which created quite a show in the pit's) and Lynch went 9.83 with a 5.7 in A/SA. If my old memory serves me right Kevin Helms was the only DP 6.1 A/S.

Re: Factory Showdown at INDY
i think it is like taking a knife to a gun fight just saying. i don't think you will out run the ford's with the blowers.and don't think the chevy's will be ready in time.
