Went to the local track last night. It was mostly test-n-tune, street legal stuff...
A '65 Mustang. Didn't make enough noise to even HEAR. Hit 2nd gear hard enough to move the car MORE than his line launch. Ran within thousandths of a perfect light AND within thousands of his dial-in. Amazing. Overall winner for the night.
A 'vehicle' the track announcer didn't even know what it was. Some 'mini SUV' thing he said at first. IT ran in the 10's. Turned out to be a Jeep TrackHawk...never heard of such a thing. Basically a Cherokee model. So new it had a temporary sticker. I have NO idea what engine it had...certainly not the 2.0L 4-banger it came with. It would have to make 800+HP to run the 1/4 in that time.
One altered-looking thing. He moved SO fast it was hard to grasp. One millisecond he was at the line, seemingly instantly later, he was 150' down the track.
What I found most curious: Total number of Chrysler vehicles: Zero. Nada. None. Zip. There was one Gremlin. I guess that falls under the 'Chrysler' name, but no Dodge, no Plymouth...old or new.
