Aren't those brand spanking new, aerodynamic, Ford products.......boosted???
Should they not be racing something a tad closer for fairness sake??? An Avenger with a PSI screw blown HEMI perhaps.

Quote:They're fast, but so are 4 bangers with boost in aero racecars.Quote:

Tasca went 8.48 today in the one pass I saw, he did run another. That's a liberty clutchless too. I believe he went a 8.28 yesterday but weather was better. DA today around 2800.
The mopar missile super stock challenger was there, didn't see it run. Very nice car.

This was a match race, he has to run a specific diameter pulley in NHRA legal S/S.

The AH cars don`t use blowers to go fast!

You know the first time I read this I said COME ON IT GO A BLOWER! But the more I think of it Chrysler did the same thing in 68, purposely built drag cars to dominate.
They did for over 40 years.
It is now the time for Chrysler to set up and come out with something.
If they dont then all the hemi barracuda will be drag racing in nostalgic type events.

Exactly. Chrysler built cars to dominate drag racing in the 60's. It's not the 60's anymore. Right now the Sitock/Super Stock Challengers aren't in the same leauge as the Mustangs- if they want to regain dominance it's time to slap a blower or a turbo on a 6.4 Hemi and sell it as a factory SS package, instead of the V10 with a powerglide. Don't knock Ford for building the CJ's and going faster, blame Chrysler for not being progressive and changing with the times. It's not like a supercharged pony car is a new concept.

I agree, and quite frankyly, factory or not, I don't find blown cars in any "stock" class to be very interesting, and certainly nothing to stack up against a NA car regardless of the brand, as mentioned, apples to oranges. For me it's NA to NA or nothing.
