But no, he didn't completely kill it, and no, everyone didn't quit running it.

Alan, What is a Real one and what do you consider to be running pretty dam well? Since we know pretty much who everybody is that has an E- Body Hemi in the country that runs well, I guess we better find out who your local buddy is.YES, FRED KILLED THE E- BODY STREET HEMI.. Count how many you saw at Indy in the last 2 years. I think Chris Howes was the only one and I don't think he could qualify. I believe he ran a best of 10.38 last year at Indy. I saw that motor on the dyno and it made as much power as Hensens 9.89 motor made on the same dyno.

There's a guy here locally named Winkie Knight, he and his brother have an original Hemi car (Challenger or 'Cuda, I can't remember off hand) he runs. It's blue, and he's had it for as long as I can remember. It's not a rocketship, but it's not a total slug, either.

I was not at Indy this year. Chris was there last year, I think, and running 10.60's.
