Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 

Hey Mopar guys! Dare to be different! With the new reduction to the 69/318/230/172, how about a Charger for U/SA?

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 

Does this qualify? 92 Firebird with a V6?

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 

I have tried a 1985 SVO Mustang for my son to drive in J/K or L stick... I should start it this weekend with the megasquirt on it.. I had it started already with all the stock computer and it didn't run great.. Thought it would be a dime rocket but think it will be more. We will have more info in the next few weeks.. I wanted to run a couple of points races this year but I dont know yet.. Lets see if it will run the index first. It is a low budget car but has some nice parts on it..

PS ... I probably should have built the 83 84 gt turbo mustang or the 80 2.3 blow through car or even the tbird tc.. all would have been cheaper..

I see 5 potential "rockets" there. That 318 2bbl at -0.775 is impressive and probably more encouraging than most gave it credit when the topic was first discussed.

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 

And how about Gary Summers 78 Mustang 2V 302! Talk about encouraging!

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 

I can only imagine how thrilling it would be to be paired with one of those while driving an SS car at a combo race. LOL

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 

Ed, you should stage and put it in park in case you fall asleep waiting on your tree to come down. Safety first.

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 

Ed we have a U/SA ford escort that runs with us at the SSSSA combo's. I have had to run him numerous times on the 1/4 and 1/8 mile. The wait is crazy long at the start and you have to lift about 4 car lengths before you get to their bumper. I have a pretty good win loss ratio on him. He is tough though. There are 2 or three other U/SA car that run with us regularly.
