that charger on the hand I might be able to beat lol

Probably. At 4400lbs I ran a 13.6 @ 103mph in the 1/4 at the track on street tires.

I had it re-geared since. 3.09 LSD Scat Pack rear diff. It might break 13.2

I haven’t done a quarter mile run but my car is about 1000 pounds lighter lol

They are fast cars for sure.

Nice Subi. I'm sure its pretty dang fast

As for the charger, slap a procharger on it and run 5-6 lbs of boost. Youll add an extra 150-200HP.

I feel ya. I want a life mulligan so I can move to Alaska and live in the woods off grid. I'd buy a huge solar panel system, a windmill, and live by a stream to generate hydro electricity and sell it to my neighbors a mile away after they run their own power lines.

My muligan would be to become an electrical engineer. I would say a musician but I'm not sure i really have the aptitude for it. Id have learned an instrument from a young age instead of when I have 1 foot in the grave already though and see where I went with it and if it didnt go anywhere then Id fall back on being an EE.

I think I would have become a hit man.

Now theres an idea! As poopy as most people are these days that might not be a bad profession to pick up!

Go get you a job as a network engineer at the NSA. I bet that would keep you busy. Just let us know if it gets slow there, and we'll start using the word bomb in every post

Note: 17 people were already called into action from this post alone.

4” Exhaust, and D1 Procharger dumped to atmosphere… I’ll play… 680rwhp on a very conservative dyno, 3100lbs, Roadrace Magnum F, 35spline 9”, methanol, Forged Welds, Toyo R compounds, Wilwoods, blah, blah, blah…

 

[CertifiedMike]

That Challenger is sexy! I had a 73 340 904 car that was terrifying!
I bet 700 hp is a lot of fun to drive!

Slushbox or 3 peddle

I’m a MAN.

“Roadrace Magnum F” is a nasty Tremec TR6060 stuffed inside a T56 case with close ratio gear set for opentrack/roadracing. Monster LT1-S twin disc clutch, Billet CrMo flywheel, Tilton slave, Tilton adjustable billet master, Hinson shifter, Mark Williams CrMo 3.5” driveshaft with forged CrMo weld yokes, 1350 solid Spicer joints, Sonnax billet CrMo slip yoke…

I tore that car down to nothing, and started over. I seriously left no bolt unturned.
