Well I have over 500 miles on the Challenger and so it was time to base line the car in stock form. I made 6 runs all but one with ESP on. The run with ESP off, she just spun! Best time was 13.499 @ 105 mph. Best part was I beat a friends GTO twice!

Ron,
I just received my new oil pan for the Charger and I should have it replaced in a week or two. Then I'll get the Charger back to the track. With street tires and just rolling off the line my best time to date is 12.13 @ 119mph. I would like to get a set of wheels and tire that I could use on all three cars, but I have 3 different back spacing.  :brickwall:

Thanks to all!
Pat

Just 6T9 CHGR

Stop messing with the MyGig on the start line! :nana:

Great runs with a great looking car......went to a cruise last night in NJ and 2 more orange ones showed up

Pat the 119 mph is good for 11 teens and once you get it to hook the ET will match the MPH.  :icon_smile_cool:

Did you go with the hemi repro pan ?



Ron



Ps. Nice job spankin the Goat !  :icon_smile_big:

What's the story on the GTO?  Do my eyes deceive me or is that an 04 GTO with the 05/06 hood?  it appears the exaust is on one side like the 04's.  Reason I'm asking is the 05/06 GTO's have the same 1/4 time as the new SRT8 Challys.

I won't be wronged, I wont be Insulted and I wont be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

Good eyes! Yes its a 04 GTO But with long tube headers and custom exhaust and some other mods. The night before he removed the spare tire, and the right front seat to shave over 125 lbs off the car.  :slap:
Thanks!
