But, that has ALWAYS been an issue and most of us here still own Mopars...Like I said earlier, we had good results with a very low-buck A-body that might see the light of day again. This time with more horsepower and better suspension/brake components, but what we had worked well enough to at least be competitive autocrossing with an iron headed big block...




True, but back in the day you didn't need a computer programming degree to tune the drivetrain. Today you do and support in that front is thin for us. It is getting to the point that you cannot tinker with the new stuff like you could the old. You can buy a package already setup by someone with the money to dig into the computers to make it work, but good luck doing it on your own.

Which means that the popular platforms get the assets thrown at it and the lesser platforms don't,or you get one supplier who has no competition to hold down costs, or drive quality.

Add that Ford has a history of working with aftermarket companies and Chrysler has the opposite history and we have what we have.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
