Much better looking body. But I have to say WHO? came up with that paint scheme? Yuck. Some marketing group for a billion dollar corporation and that's the best they could do?

Hopefully Sunday night , when someone asks who won Pro Stock?

The answer will be, the fast ugly car.

I have no idea why they are running the Magentti colors on that car - AFAIK they only offer a few parts for the Fiat 500 through Mopar.

Talk about wasted ad space

Why couldn't MOPAR come up with a sleek Challenger body to compete with the rest of the corral?

I'm sorry guys but that body looks slick and a Huge improvement over the Avenger,

The air can't see the paint job so....

It's pretty much the same team paint job as Matt Hagans F/C, no?

I don't believe anyone is so blind to think it isn't far better looking than the Avenger.....and although the air has no opinion on the paint scheme, legions of fans do and the fact is.......that paint scheme is a hideous by every measure, in both color choices and execution.


While a sponsors colors matter and you can only do so much if the colors STINK, there is NO excuse for execution so obnoxious on a flagship racecar.

The ONLY benefit of a paint scheme and color combination SO ugly, is that it will serve to make the fans of other cars even more pissed that their favorite got spanked by the car with the sickening paint job.


So they got that goin' for them........which is nice.

My .
Although Pro stock is the only class that I enjoy watching at a national event on TV, ALL these cars are "cookie cutter" cars. If not for decals, you can't tell one brand from the other. Same goes for Funny car. The old days at least there was distinction between the manufacturers. You could actually tell the difference between a Ford, Chevy, Mopar, AMC, Mercury, etc. Not now....
My opinion only, don't take any of this personally.


4 speed street legal. Best time 10.99 @ 124 mph on 93 octane pump gas @ 3926# total weight

Just saw an YouTube clip of Allen Johnsons dart. Hope he whips all of them at the Gators. Mopar or no car!

Jegs car looks positively BADAZZ, Allen's ....eh, not so much

AJ's car is apparently sponsored by Magilla Gorilla...I guess that explains the Jungle motif.

Strange question. That track sounds like the PS guys love it and it's always very fast. Is it small? How Come they don't run a national race there?

I could give a ratass what it looks like, a Hemi Dart is back!


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Little things that spectators seem to like like grandstands, restrooms, parking (both for the racers and spectators)

The track hooks
A little short for the fuel cars of today
