Under 10 is seriously fast, glad to see you guys enjoy drag racing as well. I always thought Americans got a bum rap for liking straight line racing and not circuit racing. Its not our fault that all our freeways are straight lines!
There is just something about a muscle car that appeals more to me than a curvy and sleek European sports car. Probably because I can actually take advantage of a big block engine when on the freeway.
It is, I believe it's the 2nd heaviest car in class, there's some big pick-up that's slightly heavier iirc. Drag Racing is in the blood too, Uncle raced on Bikes in the 80s and Dad half-built his own dragster, based on Renault 4 using an old Buick Aluminium block, still in the garage! I love American muscle cars, a friend has a 63 Corvette that he's re-building. Also some videos of his Mercury Cougar on there too, but that's not working atm after someone hit him (whilst parked), and spare parts for it will be impossible. Only about 14 in the country iirc. Currently got an S4 estate, running about 320hp, Quattro, so quite nippy.
A video of the re-built engine for the Corvette, awesome sound track too.
Ben, yeah, loads of torque, displacement is king for torque, and the Dodge is 9.6 litres. Not sure on torque figures, but it'll be around 1,000 lb-ft, maybe slightly under.
