Is that a serious question? They are so bad out my way that if I had money I'd buy the rarest old Mopar there is and swap an LS1 and Ford 9-inch into it just to watch their heads explode.

Unless he has H/C/I setup, nitrous, and a blower don't waste your gas man. I figured with it being a 2 door it would atleast KEEP UP.

I ran one not too long ago. Tried to pass him, and he jumped on it to keep me from getting in front. My impression at the time was that he ran out of nerve when we hit 110, but now I'm not so sure...

Good kill, Stopsign

I'm willing to bet anything a stock 392cid or whatever SRT8 can't outrun my bolt on Mach 1 from a dig.

I had a guy in a red r/t charger with 24's try to race me from a dig.
That was a bad day for him!

I wasnt going to say anything but this statement is dumb as hell. A bolt on mach 1 will get destroyed by a 392. I cant tell you how many bolt on mach 1's I have beat from a dig and roll. I even made a callout on SVTP to run a mach 1 with similar mods as me and all I got was excuses that irwindales 1/8th mile is to short. And you do realize that since there are now 10+ guys on the 392 fastest stock list that are running 12.2-12.4's @113-114 it makes it a low 12 second car right?

And the fact that 80% of the guys posting in here ragging on the challenger drive close to stock LS1 cars that can barley shake an R/T. A 392 or 6.1 SRT8 would make you look silly. The same nights where I run 8.2-8.3 @ 86-88 bolt on mach 1's are running 8.6 - 8.9 @ 82-84

I'm not talking about what your car has done and what thread you posted or what some of these cars managed to run with whatever mods. A stock 392 against my Mach 1 from a dig I doubt the 392 would win. I'd love to run your car but we both know that can't happen.
