    Mopar had some interesting stuff. Remember the Turbine?

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    The headline is somewhat misleading.
    Superchargers are NOT allowed on NASCAR cup cars.

    And while the bodies might look much the same as production cars........the frame and engines bear little to NO resemblance.

    It wasn't really misleading to fans of the Sport... We all knew that they were just there to announce a new passenger car model: nothing else!

    My Brother in Law has a V-8 SS. He's been talking to Ligengelter's Shop about one of their SuperCharged kits.
    This seems like a much simpler way to get it done!

    I looked at a V-8 SS... nice car, but opted for the CTS-V with the LSA and stock supercharger.

    I quite assure you that there are a LOT of "fans of the sport" who know no such thing.

    What they don't know; isn't my concern: I'm too worried about the voids in my own genius!

    Or do you just hang around with people who don't take the time to learn things?

    I see you are from New York........so I maybe would't necessarily expect you to fully understand this but..............
    We are talking about stock car racing here.
    If you have spent any time at all in the "cheap seats" at a NASCAR race track, you would have a better feel for why I say that a lot of fans "don't fully understand".

    I will quit right there because to go into any more detail would not be "politically correct" even though true, and it seems like saying things like that these days can get you into trouble.

    That's funny!!
    Dover, Pocono, New Hampshire, Watkins Glen: I suppose that these tracks (and the tiny seat cushions! ) don't count!

    But since you are obviously SOOOO much smarter than the rest of us: go ahead, and think what you want!

    No really they aren't good examples. And thinking they are just proves my point.

    Come on down to Talladega, just for instance.
    Sit in about row 10.
    If you have your shirt ON, are not covered with tats, don't have a mullet and don't spill more beer than you actually drink.......you look out of place.

    But I'm not saying that is a BAD thing.

    Talledega is just a boring high-speed accident that hasn't happened yet.
    Mash your foot to the floor; keep the wheel still in your hands, and wait for the pile-up to begin!
    Besides: you need to sit higher up, if you expect to actually see the track.
    I actually prefer the "paper-clip"... THAT is real racing!
