I picked it up this morning, drove it hard most of the day. Ran it tonight. And had a blast. These cars are fun.

Best pass was 8.82 in the 1/8th.
Ran several runs and was playing with it trying to find what it liked. Cut a few reds and one .008 so it can cut a light I just need some more seat time lol
not bad for a car with about 400 miles on it

Thanks guys.
It's an auto that I just left in D and let it do it's own thing. I mostly just play'd with the traction control lastnight.
Woody the breaks are Brembos on all 4 corners and they are wicked good.
I had as much fun with this car as I do with the Valiant, even had some butterflys at the gate

I race mine almost weekly. They are a blast to race and pretty consistant once you get used to them.


Good job.

Woody, Mighty Mouse looks great! That car should be in a car show every day as nice as it is.

So what's it take to get a sub two sec. sixty foot in these challengers. Also what's a few cheeper mods I can do to it for a good bang for the buck.
I'm thinking gears are going to be hi on My list.

I have no experience with the Challengers or the Hemi, but I messed with some of the LS1 stuff a few years ago and going from my experience drag radials and a converter in an auto is going to be the most bang for the buck. I had a WS6 Formula that went 7.89 at 87 mph in the 1/8th with those two changes.

Dave we need to get together at some point.
One of the guys I work with has been talking crap to the wife for several months...He has the typical winged,fart piped honduh.....She just said "Pick a day i`ll be there"
Well last tuesday was it.....needless to say it wasn`t pretty
To make matters worse she was going .040`s to his +.100`s

On the way home she commented that it wasn`t that much fun as she wanted more competition
I really wanted her to run the 6 speed SRT that was there as she had him covered by a easy tenth and change but we ran out of time.

Forget a gear change for now..go for a converter and stickies (I am)....Mine has been 2.03 stone stock so sub 2.0`s are possible with minimal mods.






I love my wife..at least she like this stuff
