We've found the challenger to be faster in the standing mile than a Camarillo of the same horsepower.

This iphone5 is such a pansy device made for pansies.

Are all apple products this wuss?

Top Gear ran the standing mile at over 140 on the salt in Bonneville, but they had to tape the grille.

I don't think bonneville hosts any standing mile events.

The starting line would look like redskins stadium after a tractor pull.

There's the episode. You can jump to 6:50 to see the final runs.

Beautiful car!
just stay away from E15 gas;  i understand Chrysler among many car manufactures doesn't cover any engine/emission warranties for E15 users.

Great looking car.

"Flying mile" is done on the salt because of the lack of traction.

I don't know of any timing association that does "standing mile" on the salt.

If anybody wants to certify a "standing mile" on the salt, I will gladly pack up the tag/heuer timing I use to certify records in my capacity as an officer of a "standing mile" timing association.

At this time, it is prohibitively expensive so we work primarily with RCR and team audi's lemans arm.

We are working on using the category definitions that SCTA uses and applying them to runway racing since some records are soft and might be beatable on either our 2 mile or 3 mile venue.

 Frank I must applaud your good taste in choice of automobiles.

I installed a Corsa exhaust on mine.  Great Hemi rumble at idle....when into throttle it roars.

Soup sent me a couple pics of his...he was installing a supercharger...dunno if done yet, should be.

Great Detenator Yellow color too!

I made many a ford owner cry in there soup when the Challenger smoked em......matter of fact the only cars to beat my Challenger was a 440 Cuda.....and another Cuda (not sure what it had for motor)  and one other car that I dont know what it was(went by to fast)

out in Arizona a Torino tried to keep up....haha was a sad day for him.....

I should go find some old Nascar and see how bad the torino's got smoked by the Roadrunners and daytona's.
