That Car rides for sure!! 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

SS/AA 8.52 159.25 09/11/10 Randy Hopkins - Scandia, MN '10 Ford SS/AH 8.22 162.72 11/28/10 Charlie Westcott - Parma, MI '68 Plymouth
We already lost one Hemi guy to the dark side. 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.

Think about this...it only took someone 41 years to get in the same sandbox as the 68 Cudas and Darts. 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've raced Mopars my whole life but I just went to the dark side Saturday. 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

Jim, you are probably right, but I think the Drag Pak Challenger was on the boards for a long, long time. 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.

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

Fred I get it!!!!! The Mopar old timers have killed the good times.I've been looking for a used Challenger for some time now.But what the hell the people want what a brand new is.This is the Dodge place and people on the net.You can't have a car for 2 years and get what the HELL you paid for it!!!! As for the Drag Pak cars what a joke.When Mopar first came up with the idea I was in line to sell all my cars and get one.Then the finals car out on the car!!! 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!!!!! Give me a stripped down Challenger for $25,000 and you will be the baddest car company in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the RANT but been holding it in for sometime!!!! Lenny
Everyone has there own opinion but i would have to x2 chrysler needs to get there sh**t together
