The graphics made a huge difference in how the car looks, and I really think the car looks great. I can't wait till he has the motor and trans finished to take it to the track to see what it'll run . Here's a link to the pictures... Enjoy http://rides.webshots.com/album/572284986FxZHFb

I hope it will run as good as he is expecting. If you want, you can check out Larry's website for his updates, but I'll keep everyone up to date with the infor I have. http://www.larrygriffithracing.com/ and, here's a link to his '68 Dart.... http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2643652820090521411wjCSDC

I know this is a Mopar site and not trying to get away from that, just wondering why a new Challenger wasn't backhalved with big tire like a normal Super Stocker. Think that would be one awesome looking car. Cory Last edited by mprrlz; 05/22/09 10:20 AM.

I wish him the best of luck with his racing program and look forward to seeing him at the races this year. Does anyone know when NHRA will be classifiying/factoring the new S/S Challengers? FYI I hope I don't ruffle any feathers with this but I think it needs mention: Jack Thomas (Chicago-area former UDRA & Hemi Dart racer) proposed to Chrysler the S/S Challenger back in 05 or so - he had a rendering that looked suprisingly like the finished product - very similar hood scoop.
