How did they get 1000 lbs out of that pig?

Without going into alot of details, they did not want to hassle or figure out a clutch and tranny combinations for the cars. It was alot easier for GM to have all cars equiped with automatics. Even though on all there ads they list 3 speed auto and 5 speed stick.
Even National Dragster reports on the COPO having 3 speed auto and 5 speed stick.
I know they probably did that article 3 months ago but I'm still pissed they didn't offer a stick so we could run A/S.
Oh well, they are still cool and I can't wait to see them run.

Has anbody seen any 1/4 mile times from any of the testing that has been done???

[Ed Wright]

At least they won't be starting out in H/SA or J/SA like some others.

I guess the same way the other Pigs (Dodge & Ford) went on a diet. Whats your point here? Couldn't find anything to bash, so you made something up?

The COPO has a 2.9L blower on the stock eliminator supercharged version. The CJ came with a 2.3L blower. Not sure how much of an actual difference it makes, but that likely accounts for the difference in HP ratings.

Never mind the fact that the LT4 had roller rockers over a decade ago huh?

The Cobra jets with the 5.4 in stock use a 2.3L TVS blower. This uses a 2.9L lysolm screw blower. So the blower size is half of the story. The 2013 Cobra Jet uses the 5.0 with the 2.9L lysolm-screw blower also. Should be a fun fight. IMO

personally, i think if it doen't come with a title, it shouldnt be in stock.
give them their own class! (copo's,cj's and drag packs)


but, no point beating a dead horse cuz THAT never happens
