Tom,
I didn't hire the folks that designed and approved these new cars for production. But it is called "Stock Eliminator" right? As in factory production?
We had a 3800 6 powered '87 GM product which got 30mpg on the highway and could cover about 1,320' in less than 14 sec. We also had a '04 3800 6 powered GM product which got 29mpg and covered the same 1,320' in about 17 sec, without a map light! Both at about 3,700#. Rumor is they went bankrupt for some reason. I know why.
If that is what it a Challenger weighs, (thinking that might be a tad light, more like 4,000 with driver the way the ground shakes when the go by) I'd gladly have raced the car at that weight.
