LOL are you a board moderator?
I have been to all mopar races at my local tracks- all I saw was all motor, purple cam, stuck in the 70's crap.
FACT- Brand X'er's are going faster then the slopars because they embrace new technology...and power adders!
Flame me all you want for it, I really don't care :cheers:
I agree. I am Mopar to the bone, but that is a fact for the most part. Its just all about what you like and get caught up in.
I'm a N/A guy myself. just always got a little better feeling out of going fast without a power adder. doesn't change the fact that power adders are fast and cheap.
I truely believe that mopar guys are the truest to the brand out of anyone else. a lot of the old technology parts and stuff are so popular because of all the craze of them back in the day. to me Chrysler had better engineers than anyone else, and Chrysler wanted to be top dog in motorsports from the pros to the home town racers.
they pumped out way more "how to" information for the guys racing their brand than Chevy or Ford did. the craze that is still present today over purple shaft cams, orange ECU boxes, pinion snubbers, etc. are just a product of one thing in my mind.
when the race scene and factory backing faded in the the 80's those parts were still producing and being pushed by Chrysler. info from that era is really the only info that has been available to guys looking to hot rod and race their mopar muscle cars. it also has just been handed down and had a big deal made of it through the years.
hey, for old technology those parts and race bulletins provide pretty good performance for the average Joes. I have a 67 Belvedere that I bracket raced forever and drove on the street. it would go mid 11's which aint bad for a N/A street driver. it is "old school mopar" to the bone. purple shafts and the like. I think its just cool because I like old school stuff.
however, I also have cars that are not along those lines because there are better parts and technology out there. like going to modern roller cam grinds, aftermarket heads, and fuel injection set ups.
I do agree that we tend to "hang on" to our image that "got us here" though.
