I know the test n tuners sure like racing them but I rarely see them on race day. Maybe they aren’t very consistent. I would have to buy one and put a ton of money in it to run the ETs I am now so I think I’ll wait till I’m old to get one and be happy running 10’s.

Truly magnificent.

My Moparmate had a street 68 Dart with a 547 koffel motor and a Bruno lenco.
It ran 8.30 @ 180 with slicks on pump gas and 200 shot of No’s.

This was over 25 years ago but no one believes it happened... violin

So ‘heavy as lead’ gen-2 Challengers are running sevens, it don’t seem so fast now...

The times they are a changing lol... drive

There’s no point trying to fix stuff that ain’t broke,,, 'but if ain’t broke',,, you is not trying hard enough...

You are indeed correct on the times changing up
I can remember Top fueler dragsters where running in the 8s in 1964 smoking the slicks all the way down the 1/4 mile with no burn outs shock shruggy
My current S/P car runs in the high 8s at 150.+ MPH in the 1/4 mile with a mild bracket motor on E85 pump fuel shruggy


Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

My understanding is that they can be hard to cut a light with.

Same as the Holdens here . Fly by wire throttle . You can get throttle enhancer or adjust the ecu .
A mate runs a Holden with mild LS3 . Does ok .

Around here, there's a lot more fast stuff at test and tune night than there is on bracket day...if that's what you're referring to as "race day".

I got a laugh out of all the "950 hp club" decals I saw on some of the challengers and chargers at Mopars at the Rock that were running mid 10s.
