    440 - 2v

    Did Chrysler ever sell a 440-2V powered car? I my youth, I thought I had seen a 1970-71 Chrysler Newport with a 440-2V. I know there were 383 & 361 2V's built. Am I just a product of fuzzy memory or what?

    Carl Edwards = A-hole!

    Thats what I call someone thats a 150 laps down & spins out a 6th place car with intent. This guy is out of control. I like to see rivalaries play out, but you need to be smart about it.

    I saw a 2010 camaro at T-N-T on Friday. It was a v-6. It ran a best of 14.97. Not the published 14.20 that I have been reading about. Maybe it is like the old days, when the chevys ran faster in the magazines than at the strip.
