They only tested for two days, with two different motors, Im very sure Pustelny will get all the bugs worked out suspension wise.

I hope it happens. Would be awesome to see those car's at the track.

The chassis is just fine. First passes with a brand new car. The fly-by-wire throttle function was lazy and they'll get it worked out.

Do Challenger Drag Paks work ok? There ya go :-)

Show us the time slips . Please

Drag Pak cars have manual throttle bodies, all motors including the v10. I always thought NHRA didn't like the dbw, but technical stuff is above my head.

Drive by wire is just one more thing to cause problems. Can't imagine why they want it. Mechanical throttle limiters are an easy way to slow one down.

I'm sure they will get it worked out just fine too,but to think that was probably a 1.5 under pass I suppose?

Have the HP factors officially been announced yet?
