I thought you just read the whole thread. People have already complained, cried, sobbed, moaned about it and it's old news. MOPAR guys it's not the end of the world. Besides, if you owned a shop, you would have done exactly what Cris did....put an LS engine in it because doing what a customer wants pays his bills. All I'm saying is that it's a beautiful car and a beast at that.

Here is a little in car video of this past weekend @ Laguna Seca! I was testing my skills on "Loose is Fast".. This was one of the most fun events that I have driven! The cork screw was a blast.. Bruce Cambren gave me some advise on front straight away coming over the hill where I kept lifting.. I managed to put 117 mph with his advise when he clocked me! On my last run of the day I was able to sueeze in my best time of the day 1.55.. Special thanks to Danny Popp & Casey Cronin for teaching me how to drive.. I promise you guys I will get faster with time.. & to my good friend Karl Dunn.. you have allowed me to live something I only thought would be a dream! Thank you Karl for letting me drive the Challenger this weekend..

Vince- When I told Bruce Cambren that the car had an LS in it.. he just laughed.. No wonder the car is fast!

Laguna Seca is one of the greatest tracks that I have ever visited & had the opportunity to drive in.. In July they will have a Corvette Challenge their that I plan on doing again!

Hiya Chris,

Wanted to introduce myself on Saturday but every time I saw you, you were either driving or had a 3-deep crowd around you.

Car runs great and judging by the grin every time you got out of it you were having a heck of a time driving it.

Congrats on another successful build.

Nice vid Cris. You don't look so uncomfortable behind that wheel anymore.

Get your facts right.lol
Its a 440 6bbl.

Vid is very cool Cris, I think they are the best teaching aids. Teachs you where you hit the breaks early, and got on the throttle late. etc. etc.

I watched the vid of Farrington following my Mustang, it was the most helpful thing, except I determined that I suck.

no way a 440 revs that fast, oh wait, there was that one time I forgot to install the center carb before I started it.

Danny Popp? no **** there goes the ****** neighborhood.
