I posted this in the handling forum, but didn't want you all to miss it.
New Challengers win the T/A 2 Championship at Daytona & this video shows how awesome the Hemi is. Sounds like Petty's 64 & laps the field like it, too.
I love how the Vette's can't hang with Cameron, so make sure you watch the entire video so you can see how he devastates the field.

Also, here's his race video at Lime Rock where he takes the lead from Andretti on lap 21. This is a real cliff hanger.

Wow, that car is dialed in and some excellent driving skills to boot.

For sure its dialed in, he had them covered everywhere, pull them on the straights (HEMI power) and braking later into the corners (chassis/driving), so good to see this
At the 6:04 mark he starts driving around the other cars like pylons

Anyone have pics of the engine? I'd especially like to see how the oil system and crank case ventilation is set up. Dry sump oiling I'm assuming.

Does anybody know the engine rules off the top of their heads? Looks like a 05-08 LX intake (could be an 09 and up intake though)

I got to see them do test laps at work about 2 months ago. From what I understand they have ASA stock style chassis converted to turn right and left. Motors are restricted to around 450hp from what I was told. They sound way better in person.

That driver is very good. I think he would of lapped everyone regardless of what car he was in.

Too bad Chrysler has zero loyalty to operations like that and will likely pull all support a year from now.

Recently they axed the rally cross darts, off road Rams, NASCAR, Lemans Vipers - am I forgetting any?

Fiat seems to have an ax to grind with any success in Motorsports that doesn't have Ferrari on it.

I doubt Fiat has any radar on it, its likely NA operations treating these things as short term marketing projects - no immediate profit? Axe it.

This will be no different - its just part of the 2015 Challenger launch marketing spend.

They left NASCAR because no competitive teams were available. Penske leveraged his other sponsor positions to get a better deal/tie in with Ford.

As for the other racing venues, there just isn't enough exposure to warrant the money spent.

They are still going strong in NHRA.
