I personally think the 2012 Challenger SRT-8 392 looks the best out of Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger as far as class muscle car look goes.

Just wish there was more of an aftermarket for them

My GF's 350z non HR went 13.7@101 with minor mods and we did a 3 way race with a Challenger RT and a 2V GT. both the GT and 350z walked away from the callenger and the 2v pulled half a car on the Z after 130+

Ok I'm going to ask the obvious, why don't you put bigs/littles on your car and see what you gain with the loss of rotational weight?

The first set of Cobra R's I got wouldn't fit so I have to get some that are bored around the hub to fit. The Stock 20'' wheels are no better so I don't even bother with 20" DR's

I'm talking bigs and littles, not damn Cobra R wheels.

Will small "drag" wheels not fit over the brakes or what?

The choices are bogarts for $600 a rim, welds for $500 a rim or cobra replicas for $175 a rim.

So bigs and littles are 17" wheels?

Oh that note I think I'm going to run 17" front skinnies. Maybe some custom ones...

I must say...I do love how damn cheap it is to make a Mustang fast. On a whim I bought some $190 gears and a set of $200 slicks and went and ran mid 12s. Yes there is a little more to it than that but damn, it's nice to be able to buy cheap **** for my car.

yea but 20" isnt far from 22", still seems pointless and minimal gains. Although I do like the look of the stock wheels

Very true, I think LS1's come with longtubes. Everyone has a set.

Wish they were easy to install on my car.

I think I got an LS6 intake for the cheapest price in history. $150 on craigslist, nothing wrong with it. Most go for $300+
