Finaly lined up against a new challenger!

Honestly there aren't many new cars that will run stop light to stop light with a decent built old hot rod.

The new Challenger is what 4500ish pounds and outside the Demon and Hellcat are 485 hp at most. Not really a good hp to weight ratio.
And I'll add, there aren't many old cars that will run stop light to stop light, or 1/4 mile, or top end, with the new cars IF the old car is factory stone stock.

Forget the Demon, forget the Hellcat, I'll even forget the Scat Pak, just give me a new R/T and I'll pretty much clean the show room floors up in '68, '69 & 70.

Regardless, it's fun to race, and more fun to win it. But if we put a 5500 8" converter, 4.56 gears, some super sticky drag radials, all behind a 408 stroker in a 3200 lbs a body, then beat a bone stock new car in a 0-60 race, ..... well...……….. LOL
