09 Challenger/Mustang engines

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Ok, NOW I know what you are talking about, the motor announced at PRI that was SS only, GOTCHA....

So apparently reffering to the Cobra Jets as Super Cobra Jets was just plain wrong on my part....check.

Yeah, I know the cars are "trick" no doubt and usually someone who copies someone elses plan does better , its a fact.

The fact Ma Mopar took forever after announcing them to get them to the track and in the meantime Ford decided to follow suit.

The Funny thing is the Guy who Built the Prototype CJs and Dodge Drag Paks has a CJ and WANTS a DP because he thinks they have more potential.....just something to think about......

The costing works out the same and at 7?k the Mustang is one hell of a piece of Machinery, take and add the other 20k that it needs to be competitive and youre at the same price as a built up DP. And I dont know as much as I should about them, my HOPE (and it may be a pipedream) is Many will never see the track, and some that do will only be raced out of the box, those I think we can take by early year.......My HOPE is many get Mothballed for investments They guys who have torn em all down and done the extra work....well those guys are pointing a .45 at us and were pointing back a .38, I guess well just have to hope they are poor shots meanwhile well work on our marksmanship

They are sweet cars....had we not already been on the list for a DP or able to get one, we would have ended up with a CJ...even if we had to clone it.

We LOVE Mopars but were pretty mercenary about performace, the best gets our attention pretty quick....dosent mean we would abandon Mopars for the Colletor/Drivers we have nothing is cooler, but Heavy Weapons is Heavy Weapons.

The optional aluminum block and head engine is rated at 475 HP and is available with the Liberty or a 2 SPD " Fordomatic". The 475 HP is OK'd for S/S only. The 425 HP is OK for Stock or S/S. The cars are very trick and come with two different axle ratios and even different size slicks depending on your motor and trans combination, Aeromotive fuel cell and pump, Strange 4 wheel discs, custom headers, Biondo launch control and the list goes on. No OEM has ever built a factory race car with this much thought put into it. I know you MOPAR racers love your cars but after seeing both cars, I think the Mustang blows the MOPAR away! The difference is because Ford has real drag racers helping to engineer and test their car and it is complete when you buy it. Put gas in it. check the tires and go racing. Ford makes two kinds of Hybrids, this one burns gas and rubber. Ok, now its time for bitching and complaining.
