I don't think anyone with a new car is complaining that the COPOs are underfactored. I think it's more of gentle ribbing between friends and some one pointing out how it was funny that some that were complaining about how unfair it was when Ford and Mopar was doing it but crickets when the Bowtie entered the game and it was way more honest lol. Most of the new car guys knew exactly what was coming. The 8.8s is not surprising to me in the least. I personally expected the 4.0 to run 8.5-6s off the trailer, the 2.9s 9.2s and the 427 9.9-10.0s. Once one gets built I see them all dropping ETs drastically.

Perhaps I'm off on some guys being upset about the new kids on the block but I don't get that impression by those who are racing the CJs and MOPARs. Atleast not seriously but jokingly.
