I dont think its twisting, if you notice the RR is squatting about the same as the LF moves up.... its the torque rolling it..... JMO

That's kinda what I meant........That's the whole point for me to watch the Super Stock Hemi cars.
They have a whole class to themselves now. I just think of them as an Exhibition Class, since the Chevrolet guys probably cried to NHRA because they couldn't run with them. So, they just kicked them out of SS/AA.

not sure. but i think the car is set up that way intentional. doesnt look as cool, but i am pretty sure the chassis was built by one of the best in the business and it looks like it works.

Im not so sure its that simple. We find it easier to go wheeels up than trying to keep them down. A few adjustments/changes the cars sky high for well over 60 feet. But when we try to keep the front down the car doesnt transfer weight properly, the tires break loose thus ending in inconsistant et's. Even though the car ran its best ever in the last two weeks by keeping the front end down were still breaking the rear tires loose which was never a problem before. Now were changing launch chips again, making chassis adjustments between runs...its like starting all over. But thats what test n tune is all about. As far as Bucky's run...he could be testing as well even though it was an elimination race. Its really hard to tell from the vid, without being able to zoom & slow the vid down and you cant see his wheelie bars etc. He ran an 8.58 or something like that ?? If he can hook, keep the front end down he's won half the battle. Wow awesome car...always has been!!
