Dude you can lose greater than one second off the 1/4 mile time with just bolt ons. Seems like a major rip off, but the car is still cool. 12.9 stock to 11.9 on a good day for $8,000 seems like a major waste.

Yeah, I know nothing about the Hemi's but I assume their are guys doing stuff NA that can match the SC. Still like the cool factor. Still I would still rather have an Aluminator 4.6NA w/twinscrew setup in my MM.

So Dom do you think that it takes less than 8 grand to make a Marauder go 11.9?

I don't know about that.
But I know it takes $80 grand to make a gran marquis run 11.9 :lol:

So do you want to run it Doom! I am ready to take you on now. The only question is are we allowed to wear sunglasses as it will be awful bright if we open both hoods at the same time! Plus they will hide your tears at the end of the race!:neener:

I'll take you Doomie in the MSlayer but we need to even the score a bit. As your pushing 150-175 more hp lets say 15 sheets of CDX plywood, 10 bags of gravel mix and we'll drag in the winter and I'll cut you a break and I'll spot you a hundred feet on a strip w/ only 1/2" of snow cover... what say you?

I wanted to SEE the times.

I think almost any car can lose a second off the 1/4 mile for less than 8 grand.

Thats a 13.6 car (stock) that is mostly all stock with vortecs smaller charger mounted on with a warranty. I bet it comes in at atleast two seconds quicker with better DR's and a whole lot more with tuning.

I highly doupt they tuned it to run balls out (BTW, do you know where that saying came from? I do:D) considering its a warrantied vehicle.

The big plus here is, an average Joe can litteraly walk in and buy a decent race car in one payment, emission legal, and warranty to boot.

Sounds good to me.

Now where can I order my 300 SRT/8 vortec sleeper?:banana2:

i just saw a picture of a Hurst Challenger in my Hot Rod magazine. Is a Hurst model really comeing out or is it just a one off?
