I lost the race because he cut a killer lite on me ..It was very close even with his great lite , I was pulling back on him very very slowly but just ran out of track .. I talked with him for a good bit and he told me his best at the 1/4 mile track was a 12.20 ..I told him my best was a 12.01 so far .. From what I saw the Camaro Back half's better than the dodge .. I was impressed with the dodge in the 1/8 mile that it ran as strong as it did will all that weight ..

My best pass ever at this track was a few weeks ago 7.67 @ 92 MPH .. My best pass tonight was my first pass of the night at a 7.71 .. The track prep was a bit iffy and both our 60 foots were slower than normal ..Both of us suffered a bit of wheel spin but not to bad ..


Now when the 1320 comes out to play I'm pretty sure it will out run my Camaro ..With it's lighter weight and trans brake and drag shock settings I think it will have my Camaro covered in the 1/4 mile ..Pretty cool of dodge to build it but the car is going to be over 50k ? For that price I'd be looking at a low mileage used hell cat or a ZL1 ..

Sounds like fun at the track, I always enjoyed running similar vehicles to mine when I raced. IMO stock with DRs is the best direct comparison of vehicles. The Scatpacks do run well but seem to mph 3-4 mph less than the present Camaro and GT so no surprise that you were running him down.
