That is one nice car, it may be slower but It would be a cool car to dump some money in.

I bet that would be a fun car to drive with headers and a cam

to me the new Challenger screams American Nothing like a HUGE *** 2 door car with a V8.

Damn Jayplay, you guys are really squeezed in there, aren't you?

Those new challengers look nice, but they are just too big...

As part of the BS thread.. we should have a "guess Sarge's next car?" contest. It's inevitable something new will show up in his sig within 2 weeks.

I'm gonna guess that he stays true to his Ford roots and ditches the Z06 for a Pinto.

A lot of people say the new Challengers are too heavy, and I agree.. they are. But if I had one I doubt I'd do much more than full exhaust to it. It's more of a nostalgia car than a major street contender IMO.

I heard he's been eying an Aztec for his daily driver.

I think they are great looking cars, but Dodge really dropped the ball on making them bigger and heavier than trucks.

Badass looking but huge and slow. Got beside one at a light and I had to lean over to talk to the driver.

They look like shrek with the mirrors if you look at them from dead ahead.

Except for the fact that the whole idea of a musclecar was to put a big engine in a smaller/midsize car (look at a 196x GTO vs an Impala), lol.

Nova and Camaro as well. Could get the same motors as the Chevelles, but in a smaller package.

haha sounds like a brilliant idea to me, i just now noticed the S430 in his sig. . . Mercedes hell yea! So that the new DD Sarge?

ohh and saturday i finally got to run the car with the rebuilt tranny. unfortunately only got to make 2 passes both of which were rushed so i didnt get the best launches.

First and best run of the night was a 12.93 @ 104.63 1.9 60' . . . that damn 3200 edge converter rocket'd me outa the hole compared to the sluggish stocker.

ohh and also that was with a DA of 1830

and the time corrected would be a 12.66 @ 106.8

I think with everything being the same and a little practice at my launch with the converter i could hit a 1.8 60' bringing me down to about a 12.7 or so roughly.

just wanted to share with the fellow SR&K guys!

Talking My BS thread - *video* She lives

I know this isn't pic or video section but I know alot of guys in here are waiting...Sorry Sarge, Unit, and Jay. If you guys need to close it thats fine I understand.

Here is it! This is with the break in tune, cold start, and no exhaust. Still need to find a belt that fits tighter and put the exhaust on. Car will be strapped to the dyno Friday. Idle is set at 1,200rpms. Hoping for 270rwhp.

Yep...I dont' like them on sn95s either. IMO, the Cobra R rims are the best on those years.

Wow, that thing sounds mean as hell! I can't wait to hear it with the exhaust. Good luck at the dyno!

Definitely sounds like an E303 cam
