Maybe he got a "Special" unit.....LOL.

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Actually you are both right. The 2009's came with a transmission and rear assembly that you have to replace. For 2010 they left that stuff out.

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Actually unless you ran a slower class stocker, only the 2010 Cobra Jets came with a trans you could race from the factory. In todays stock eliminator a 69 camaro or a 70 hemi cuda couldn't be competetive with a trans as it came from the factory. Also how many cars from the factory came with aftermarket axles and spools ? They all have to be modified!

Missqoted, misspoken, which one, lol

Not so rare, mine too? Viper trans, irs.!:)

9 people in hand(some recent deletions (was 10)) and 189 birds in the bush is not a very convincing ratio. 5% only, willing to go to print, lol. Not a very good backing on dissing the Drag Pak's and FR500CJ's? :(

The new cars will get lots of attention from younger buyers!:D

Yeah, I'm sure those 20 somethings will go out and buy an $85K car. Because if they buy a production two ton Challenger, they're going to be just a little disappointed.:rolleyes:

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Peter,

I agree with you, but there are many more Camaros being sold than Mustangs and especially the Challengers. The NHRA experiment isn't having the sales impact for the Mustangs and Challengers that marketing through movies like Transformers seemed to help the Camaros.

I could be totally wrong about what is driving the sales, but I am not wrong about the Camaro outselling the other two and they aren't fielding an FX car.

Re:New Weight Breaks
 

What needs to be done is NHRA should start the weight breaks at 6.0 for "A", 6.5 for "B", or so on up. Todays "A" cars would be an "E" and this way the new cars could be factored to a more correct horsepower and not have to weigh 4000 pounds. Plus, look at how busy all the letter makers would be over the winter. Simple solution to a complex problem. Dyno

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Great thought Dyno except it would still requier NHRA to place proper horse power on the new cars.

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

Hey, what happened? 2011 Challenger DP V-10 thread has put this thread out to pasture. Sure glad that there were no opinions expressed or arguing in this thread. Yeah, right.!

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
 

I think people are just sick of the NHRA policy that has gotten things to the way they are now in stock eliminator and somewhat in Super Stock. They are just waiting to see how it shakes out for 2011. Im sure a lot are just sick of talking about it and not able to do anything about it except complain to NHRA or complain on this forum.
