Day.... ummmm .. I gots some MAJOR TWEAKIN to do on my Scatty

Was this the guy that had his hood and front fenders off the car making a pass I saw on Facebook.

Gotta larryLOVEit that driving SKILLS !!

NOTE the JUST RIGHT burn out ...

No LOOK AT ME funny car tire smoke

I think that was a black hellcat? Doesn't count unless the whole car makes the trip, lol.

Awesome! But I will keep my beat to hell and back, patched up 68 Dart......

The new stuff I just cant get into. Must be about time to retire.

I would sell all my old stuff for a Hellcat or Scat Pac. Anybody want a 68 Cuda Fastback or a 87 Monte Hauler SS ?

Timeslip from facebook.

Me too. I love my SRT Magnum but I’m liquidating everything and getting a Hellcat in the next couple of years.

What’s even more impressive is no wheelstanding.

Barely pulls the left front on the last pass.

Always the quickest way if you don't spin.....

Hello Bakaruda

I'm sure there are some exceptions, but almost all of them leave really soft. This one is fast, but I'm referring to the slower 9 and 10 sec cars...they 60' like 11 or 12 sec cars and then scream on the back half.

Early last year I had a guy wanting my car but covid kicked in. Being self employed he decided it would be wise to sit on his money and not buy it, a good decision IMO. If it had sold I would've been looking for a low mile older Hellcat Challenger.

The new stuff is cool and it has its perks for sure. If something happened to my setup I would probably go modern, or at least something with a modern powerplant. I do get a little flustered when my car runs 10.50s with years of work and high performance parts on it, then a buddy's BONE STOCK redeye challenger goes 10.50s with zero mods other than slicks lol.

I’ve been out of the drivers seat for more than a little while BUTTT....

Those passes are a 1.19 short-time ?!!

It sure appeared to be way diff than that !

But you don't have a mortgage sized car payment like he does either.

The new stuff has zero appeal to me...and I've tried. I messed w/ GM LS powered stuff 10-15 years ago. They're fun and all, but the EFI stuff irks me. Having to get it retuned for every little change...maybe I should have invested in EFI Live and done it myself, but I'm old school enough to know I like keeping things simple. Carbs are simple.
It bugs me seeing people at the track w/ these new cars and they know nothing about them or what makes them tick. (not all, but the majority) It's a different crowd for sure. Ask them what's done to it and they say it's Stage 3. What the he11 does that mean? LOL. What's worse is seeing them at car shows...looks like a dealership lot.

I still think, in the years to come, that the complex electrical systems and multiple computers in the newer cars will start failing and be a nightmare to repair.

Chip I agree to a point but there have always been guys that have opened their checkbook to have someone else make their cars fast. Today though you can have someone across the country e-mail you a tune and never lay hands on the car, where years ago they had to take their cars to a shop.

There is a local guy with a new or near new Mustang that bought a tune from someone in Florida, he claims it's 700hp. A friend we have in common stopped by last week and said the Mustang guy was wanting to hit my Dart a lick. I'm willing when he's ready, at the strip of course.

I agree with you on most of that, especially the car show part lol.

I do love me some fuel injection though. But I have full control over overything, I am sure using OEM stuff would be aggravating. .

I do get a little flustered when my car runs 10.50s with years of work and high performance parts on it, then a buddy's BONE STOCK redeye challenger goes 10.50s with zero mods other than slicks lol.

with this i was just talking with a buddy of mines about this a mutual friend of ours spent 10 years to get into the 7's (7.90's) with his Mustang and when he made it, there was another guy pitted next to him in a street car that went 7.90's
