If I can't race a Mopar, then I'll quit racing and watching. It's called brand affiliation, reason I come to this site. After 50 years I ain't changing and I'll walk by a $500,000 Chevy to look at a $100 Valiant.
I bleed for Mother too.
That said, things do evolve over time and we have ALWAYS had to pay more than the other guy.
I'm thinkin' 3rd gen Hemi and turbo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sometimes?
