    I don't know bob, I have a hard time believing that the 427 they put in a purpose built drag car makes less HP than the last gen of 427 vette which made 505.  I think they are sandbagging the numbers a bit.  When was the last time u head less than 500hp sound like that? Lol besides, the current 2015 challenger drag pack challenger w/ gen3 426 hemi runs mid 8s  :2thumbs:

    I don't think 456HP will lift the wheels like that.

    torque is more responsible for pulling the wheels.....that's a race car so we don't know the weight distribution but I suspect it has a lot more on the rear end given that it is intended for the strip.

    Dodge has the Drag Pak cars.  I believe they were running in the eights.

    Hmmm... Not sure how they're only making 64 hp/litre with a modern motor that sounds like THAT.

    The car's engine sounds hotter than it appears to be. But I loved how the old Camaro performed.

    Those Stockers probably make around 700 or so h.p....

    pretty good for a 9" tire...

    Not cheap either...

    Found this!  Probably has a 4000 rpm converter in it, and weights 3200. And has a powerglide!

    :iagree: Yep, somewhere between 7-800hp I'd say. I think Moroso has a calculator that if you plug in the et, mph and weight of the car, it'll give you a hp figure. Think of it, Sox & Martin's SSA hemi ran around the 10.3 @ 135mph range and if you believe IT was only 425hp; well then I've got a nice bridge in Brooklyn for sale you may like. LOL  :cheers:
