Yes the 6.4 does come in production cars. The SRT Charger,Challenger, and 300 all come with the 6.4 392 hemi!

If you can race one of the Factory Race Cars will anyone try to get the 68 Hemi or the L88 vettes approved for stock? If so what et's would they run.

I believe the '68 Hemi and '69 AMX are S/S-only, per the Classification Guide (unless they changed something).

I guess someone could build a '64 or '65 Hemi car for AAA and AA Stock though.

[Joseph Teuton]

I surly will. Tomorrow when I get to the dealership I will take a pic of each.

I'm just wondering what engine compartment looks the same from a showroom car to a race car? Just wondering cuz of course they will look a little different. But honestly the only different in the two mopars are manifold.

So the street version of the 392 has a .602 lift cam?

I like the new Stockers, the only problem I see is that NHRA should put 1.5 HP per C.I. factor and then let the car race to get power deminished.
This way, they don't just step to the top of the qualifing sheets. It's not fair for the guys who have worked for years on their combinations and with just a strike of a pen (NHRA's lack of policing, which we pay for through our membership), all their work on the combo's falls to the bottom of a qualifing sheet.
Another look is into the safety of a car going 153 mph racing a car (P/SA) going just over 100 mph, the closure rate is way too fast for tires that the stockers are limited to. Not saying that there should be a bigger tire for the faster cars, just a need to be looked at it logistically. Is it safe? A power adder car, from what I see at the races, have a tendency to spin the tires going down track and get loose. Orlando Street Car Nats is a perfect example, cars banging the walls all the time.

Congrads to Mr Fezel for the first 8 sec. Stocker!

The '65 Race Hemi is only rated at 450 in Stock Eliminator as of 1/1/12. THAT would be a cool combo!

Natural CC car that could run BB - A. Hmmm.....

Or Captain we could just do away with Q/SA and slower classes in Stock. like Superstock, stock would just stop at P/SA. I don't see a ton of new Q/SA and slower cars being bulit. I don't want anyone in a slow stocker getting hurt in a crash. This could be a good idea in the name of safty. Don't you think this is a good idea Captain?
