[You!]

Admittedly, I don't follow the sport that closely anymore, so can someone please tell me how the hp rating jumped 2000 points in a year or two? I seem to remember up until recently they were touting 8,000 hp. Will they be 12,000 by the Winters?

 

[StockersRock]

Yes - if it's up to the PR and marketing departments!

It's hard to calculate the horsepower on the Dragsters and Funny Cars. A couple years ago the Kalitta camp put sensors on their dragster and came up with an astronomical figure of the horsepower being produced. The NHRA has been touting 8,000 horsepower for years. It was definitely time for an updated number. Just in the last year or so with the set back blower the engines gained a lot of horsepower. Call it inflation.

Good looking Dodge.

Actually, there are quite a few differences in the body, too bad they didn't use the Hellcat model option, it looks much slicker imho, here's a 3D model I did of the Hellcat a couple of months ago:

I'm glad that they told me it's a Charger.

With Nelson's (and hopefully Pam's) name on it... I'm in... (the Carter's were a blast to bowl with)

blah, blah blah.

Great looking mount!! A plus!

 

[TooTall999]

Seriously, why not just make one body and just put different decals on it to denote make and model? Put challenger or camaro decals on it and voila you have a challenger or camaro....lol

"Spec" body to help hold down costs............hmmmmm

Holding down cost is always a good thing........something to think about.

Like maybe reducing the costs might entice more racers and sponsors? ...Think anyone in Glendora might cop a clue?

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

One can only hope.....

I know many don't like the big show bodies because they don't resemble their street counterparts, but that thing LOOKS like a race car that can go 320+.
