I think they are great cars, my sister in law has had two shaker 6 speed challengers. I don't like the six speed because I am a drag racer and the first gear ratio is horrible for that. An 8 speed in a scat pack would be a blast. If I were in the market to by me a daily driver right now I would buy a 1320 model and race the doors off of it.
A 2.97 first mated to 3.90 rear. Too low? Please elaborate.
It is a heavy car and has a tall tire. With a slick where you could rev it up and dump the clutch it might do OK. Trying to get it out on the stock tires resulted in either a horrible bog, or when I got more aggressive it spun and tire hopped real bad right as I got the clutch out. I only got three passes in it though and it wasn't mine and she didn't want my brother in law to know she let me make passes in it LOL.
The gears are nice and tight after first through. If I remember right I was having to grab 4th just before the traps.
