It looks like Dodge may be trying to get more little guys in their new drag cars. I may work a few more years after all.

Sorry guys you will have to copay and paste, I couldn't post the link.

North of 45,000

Well at least its better than 100,000

Well I like it but ------ now they are going to get blasted as to why not make one for the 660 group --

thats what im thinkin,11.70 off the floor it shouldnt take too much to get her in the high tens.

I wonder what else they leave out besides the seats.

Be interesting to see what kinds of times buyers report from them in totally stock trim.

I'm really surprised they didn't up the hp a bit. Cool car though.

Na, anything that will rin 1320' will be fine for 660', if a guy knows how to drive.

True, but if I pay the whole entry fee, I don't want to run half the track. I want the whole ride.

'Course if John Force Jr. can get it to the 660 without hitting the wall, he has a pretty good chance of making it the rest of the way.

Fair enough. I suppose it would be nice to light a smoke and think about what you're going to do the next day while you drive the back half.

I wonder what it weighs?

I for one think they have about run out of udders on the challenge cow to milk.

Enough is enough... time to get a bit more inventive.

Some of us dont get to drive fast very often so we would like it to last as long as possible yet as short as possible at the same time.

If your car is boring in the last 1/2 of the race it aint fast enough.

As far as weight removal once you remove all the other seats you might as well ditch all the sound insulation, air bags(at least for the other passengers), sun roof, AC, heater, and a million other things you don't need in a race car because nobody is going to make it a daily driver with only one seat. Anyone know how many demons were sold with only one seat? I bet very few and they will be the collectible ones in 30 years.

It'll be interesting to see how these cars sell and perform when they are in the hands of the average guy.


Dave I'm sure right about the back half. My pump gas small block only runs 6.30's in the 1/8 so I could take a little nap in the back half.

BTW, what does your's run?

Dizusters 2016 Scat Pack Challenger just ran 12.01 in 90 degree temp. Race weight 4525, leaving from an idle. Weighs 4300 w/o driver. It has a tuner box and sticky 18" radial. Nothing else. The race versions of the Challenger can easily get down to 3100-3200 w/o driver. This is with a stock style interior except for seats, cage, and solid rear axle assy, power windows hinged hood.

Lost my interest at automatic only.
