Is there a faster stock class now then the old Hurst SS Darts/Barrcuda's ? It will be the baddest non-GT class car. There are SS/GT cars faster than the Hemi's now, but nobody really cares. FYI, John Gallina went 7.90's in SS/CS or something like that with a twin turbo V-6 Grand National a few years ago. Tasca's car is admittedly not SS legal, but it is supposed to be "close".

Word is they want to get it to go 7's on SS then they were gonna take that motor combo to a EX pro stock or 4 link that car again word on the street I've seen that car on my way to work the last couple of weeks. they rent the track on weds Those guys put a ton of time and $$ to get that car to run that fast they are always at the track trying different stuff and lots of time on the chassis dyno changing stuff Here's a pic of the hauler I caught going down the highway

I'm sure it's cheaper to build a CJ than to chase WC. These are the current records in the NHRA list. I'm getting almost 1300 HP for 3390 pounds (legal SS weight of 3220 + 170 for the driver). That Eaton TVS supercharger has really good efficiency, around 70-75% at the peak efficiency. Too bad they don't make a rotor kit for a 6-71. 6886851-TVSR1900SuperchargerMap.gif (122 downloads) Floyd Lippencott IV

And, they really haven't caught up yet. Not being sure, but I'd bet the money put into the Tasca Mustang we started the conversation with rivals with the r&d of Larry Morgan's PS program....just sayin'.

I think the competition is good for all the brands as it causes a lot of interest (and unrest for the existing Stock and SS racers). The 500 HP Moosetang engine is now factored at 576 in the 2010 Moosetang. The HP factors are getting closer to reality, but still not quick enough for the class racers. Floyd Lippencott IV

All they did was give the rich dicks something to buy.Where are all the Drag Pak cars?In storage so some guy can sell it in 20 years!!! Really I see only 5 or 6 cars that are raced!!! So I can walk in the Ford place and get a car that is faster for less money.That is a no brainer.The new 5.0 has a great sound stock.The Challenger sounds like my wife's Durango.The Ford people dont have there head up their A$$es. Hey Dodge you are in the the new car market,not sell a few cars to old men how never drive them because they think they will be worth more money in 20 years market!!!!!

Intercooled Kenne Bell Supercharger, Viper 6 speed manual, Brembo, Mach stereo, electric windows, adjustable suspension. Most fun car I've ever driven and my wife and son love it! No time to race anymore so now we can cruise together every day. I love the Challengers too, just cant find this kind of package though at this price. I'll attach photo later, its not working from my phone 6887481-IMAG0301.jpg (211 downloads) Last edited by ProSport; 10/25/11 04:55 PM. 1970 Challenger, all aluminum 528 Hemi, HDK suspension, Tremec 5 speed manual

Lenny I bought a 2009 Challenger SE for $22,500 with Employee Pricing, 0% financing and Lifetime Warranty. It's a lowly V6 and only one option, satellite radio. Dodge doesn't make them that cheap anymore. The older G-package is now standard and costs are $25k and up. I wanted an R/T, but couldn't justify the extra $10k. Floyd Lippencott IV

Didn't David Hakim and his pals play with the prototype at the SEMA show a few years back? I don't know how many are being "stored", but there is a pile of them racing. Indy was overun with them, from Teuton's 360 to Thomas' V-10. There were a bunch of Hemis, and I know that Cary Bales and some of them sat out because some of the others were flat flying. Personally, they all have put a breath of fresh air into NHRA racing. I couldn't give a rat's butt about the fuel/Pro programs, but SS, especially Hemi SS, and these upper Stock classes are really interesting now with the Drag Paks/CJ's being around. The CJ's are in the process of getting absolutely hammered with hp, the Hemis are also getting some. It will all work out. "Old age and treachery trumps youth and enthusiasm, every time!"

V6 Mustang runs 13.6's in the 1/4 not too many R/T challey's can pull those numbers.

I talked to Cary at 41 the weekend before Indy. He said they woiuld sit out because they had been hit so much they didn't think .7 under would even qualify. (It would have) He also said the DP cars make terrible bracket cars when they are on kill. (Like most any stocker on kill) Quote: The CJ's are in the process of getting absolutely hammered with hp, the Hemis are also getting some. It will all work out. Yep. Some of the combo's are already SS only, and some are only 1 hit away. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."
