Now that the Arrow should hit a 8.80-8.90 pass ths year I`ve been thining of how fast I would really feel comfortable going in a go-cart like the Arrow... ...I think 8.50`s would be OK...but any faster and I would want something longer and wider...How about everyone else

5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!

Luckily, I am limited by my budget and don't have to worry about that issue....Drive safe, besides, don't you still have snow on the ground....

This is a question I keep asking myself! LOL With the car weighing in the 2,500 lb range, and the 572" Hemi, I guess I will find out.

I would like to run 7.70's in our Duster at 2750lbs or 3000lbs in SS/AM before its all said and done. As long as the income is strolling in, between me and the members of our racing team, we should be able to get it done. Hopefully, it will happen sooner than later.

9.999 only .3 to go. Maybe if I advance my cam to 104 it will drop the .3


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Been in the 8's a handfull of times with the 440 on spray, completely comfortable. The Challenger is such a wide, long platform, along with a rack, that even when it gets out of the groove, I feel confident muscleing it back. 9.2's with the 512 Indy was a little different, so torquey I never was happy with the ladder bar in the first 60ft., then boring from the 1/8th to the finish.
It'll have struts, and a bottle on the 512 when it comes back out, and we'll see how far in the 8's is enough.

My brother's 100 inch wheel base AMX is a different story...low 9's in that twitchy little sucker was plenty for me.

Fast or quick? I've had the Charger at over 150 mph for many sutained miles, and more (closer to 165) in the very near future.

...no, not on populated public roads, but a closed down highway for the Silver State Classic.

10.75 @ 125.35 w/ a little spray

as much as i'd like my junk to run 8's i don't think i can afford the maintenance costs that go along with a car that fast. mid 9's is easy, 106 octane, single 4bbl, hot street roller, big block is just a simple oil & plug change mid season & my valve springs are 3 seasons old & seemed to have stopped going any weaker. times are tight so i'll stick with my current combo until i win the lottery.

I'd be happy for now with mid 10's, I know though that once it's running that I'll want to hit 9.90's. The problem is, twitchy doesn't even come close to describing the ride.Dave

Your truck carries a different aerodynamic burden than most lol. I love it though I look forward to hearing about some good runs with the Hemi.
