I'm going to try. It depends on where he is working that day.
I hope that he will still have his friends truck to use.

There was one at OSW on Wednesday night. The guy couldn't drive it for **** or was scared or something. I only saw one of his passes but it was a 14.33 @ 101.

That Black Challenger was a beautiful car but the best run he had was 13.69 @ 103 and a bunch of low 14s. Not very impressive to me!!!

Here is a video with the Challenger putting out 526rwhp with a small turbo & 6 psi. My buddy just sent it to me before he posted it up on YouTube.

There could be one there but i have never heard of it.N.E Dragway was far enough for me eventhough we actually stayed in Maine for the weekend when we went to the track.People down here complain about the tracks here but you should see that **** hole of a track it had a dirt parking lot and it was in the middle of nowhere.

My father took delivery of his new challenger last night and I got to drive it home. I can describe it in one word (DOG). I was extremely disappointed by the performance. With the traction control off it wont even turn a tire. The only way i could get it to spin was punch it in a tight turn. Then it would only go a couple of revolution's before it grabbed again. I stopped on our quarter mile paved drive way to run his 300 srt8 and got my butt handed to me. I hop it gets faster as it breaks in at least before he breaks it.

Bob Dance Dodge had a black SRT a week or so ago, and saw a black SRT today at Deland Dodge for sale. So if anyone wants to be the first to spend way too much for a car I am sure they will accomodate you.

I do like the way they look, but I am not overpaying for any Chrysler product. Sorry.
