Bogus Cobra jet HP- PROOF!

You will not see what the CJ's can really do until Indy. After that they will get horsepower and the crying can cease.

You think the HP numbers for the Challenger are realistic? They should be real fast for a while too.

yea they'll get 5 hp at a time, or 3% of someone is dumb enough to do it. That will take FOREVER

Getting HP will probably depend on how big a radiator it had, what Div. it runs in, and who's in charge of the scales!!

Wah,Wah, Wah, enough already, I have never seen more crying about 1(one) car(combo) such as this. They have not smoked anyone in class, yet a handful of whiners continue to cry about it ( most do not race in the same class) SHUT UP . I am unaware of anyone who has built or bought a car based on a magazine story who has gone and destroyed a class due an underfactored combo. As I have said before, If this was a GM combo, nothing would be said.

PS, If this combo is such a killer,go buy one!!!

Yes, the new CJ is modern technology, not the antiques most everyone else runs. Also doesn't everyone's stocker/superstocker make more horsepower than their factored hp.? Maybe we should start dynoing current record holders, and adjust factored hp. accordingly. Nearly every make has combinations that have bogus numbers. If the new CJ is so fast and that much better, go buy one! Just my 2 cents worth.
