I really doubt they're out to get the racers that run older cars. I can only guess that they will reach a LOT more potential buyers (and form their buying habits until they get old) by using the latter strategy.
I'm an "old Mopar" guy, and I wouldn't expect the factory to support older stuff unless they had a lot of money to burn.
A bit off topic, but, I think the NHRA can't wait until the "old" cars and racers are out of their hair! But by then, the Drag Packs will be old too. Then what?
I don't get this at all. The Drag Pak support is in addition to what they have already been doing. They list contingency for blocks, heads, and even valve covers. They are still doing the Hemi deal. What am I missing?
