That's 5HP higher than the 427/430 ZL-1 for the 69 Camaro. :rolleyes:

Yea me too Jeff - I was really kidding when I said what I did about the rating.

I wonder what will happen when the blown Camaros hit the scene next year. I will probably wish I had waited for the SSS Camaro (that would be supercharged SS)

Life is full of choices - I could sell out and quit or try to upgrade and stay racing - I prefer the later

I looked around in my house and do not have any appliances (radios, TVs, computers, refrigerators, stoves, phones - nothing) which are even 10 years old, let alone 40. All of it is better now than it use to be.

It is time to move on and update to current day technologies, take advantage of the rules changes which are trying to keep our style of drag racing current - not a nostalgia class.

My car current car is worth less but nothing I can do about it. It is worth more as a restoration car than a racecar - I am sure NHRA is going to keep the older cars in the game for a long time. So I am going to sell it as a racecar for a very good price (to the buyer).

Change happens - life goes on.

I am sure all this will sort itself out in another year or so.

Too bad so many of us have worked so hard and invested so much, for so long, just to have the future and time finally catch up to us.

I am not rich I am spending everything I have and going into debt up to my eyeballs to enjoy my last days as a drag racer.

Sorry if you guys think I suck for that - but it is what it is -- progress

Re: 2011 Dodge Challenger V10 Drag Pak

I personally do not hold any grudges against anyone purchasing one of these factory produced hotrods. I think they are extremely neat, and I'm glad that the factory is getting behind sportsman racing again. I do believe that these type of cars are indeed a form of progress that was developed through many years of R&D. However, I do not understand progress as the act of penciling a combination to make it competitive.
