They are unavailing the new 1000hp Redeye. WRONG! Unless of course you are inventing a new word, and mean it like it sort of sounds...

Well, whatever it is I am sure the infinitely brilliant minds at Mopar will make it affordable to grassroots racers* everywhere!
*Mopar's/Pietro's definition of "grassroots racer" is SS/AH

I assume it will be like the 2015. With mo power. I noticed it has a parachute. Don't know what other changes. The 2015 was already spectacular. The Drag Paks are wonderful cars. The reveal is at 4:26 Pacific time today.

If I buy one (and I doubt I will) those black wheels will be gone first day. 22 year old engineers mistakenly think that 40-50 year olds (the target audience for this car) like black wheels just because they do. They don't have a clue.

I was told from the best source that they can't get parts for them if you try to race one. And if they made 50 he doesn't know where they are at.

I only recall seeing two...Jonathan Allegrucci's car in D-1, and the late Charles Blossom's car in D-5. Blossom's car has been sitting since he passed away as far as I know. I'm not sure what Joe Welch's car began life as...it may be a real 2015 car also?

They don't have a clue. YEAH! Those darn whippersnappers and their new fangled black wheels...they should have learned older Mopar crowd doesn't like black wheels after none of the Hellcats...or Demons...or TAs...or 1320s...all which came with black wheels, sit idle on the dealership lots. /End sarcasm I'm sure FCA has done plenty of market research, even if they didn't call you.

I guess on my wishlist I hope it has 426 cu in and a 4.0 blower. That would make me happy.

Does not look like it has drag race front or rear tires, but it is hard to see.
Looks like a Demon style hood.
However no side view mirrors kind of say drag race car and the video, even though it is a different car says drag race.
Hopefully its a new Factory Stock Showdown car. The current combo is hanging on by a thread and would not even qualify except for the rule changes during the year.
I am sure they have been around but first car cover I have noticed that you can leave on and drive the car. Windshield uncovers and cooling holes upfront.

Being on the front end of the sales process and related ancillary tasks from the beginning of the program until 2013, a sense of humor was definitely a requirement the whole time. As proud as I might be of my association with it, that sense of humor remains intact....because, well....there's always something to have fun with. I'm as nice as can be Maybe to a fault...

If anyone cares to watch, I think that this is the link. Why doesn't Mopar make this stuff easier to find? Maybe post something on some Mopar sites like this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrBQYpfytIo
Master, again and still
