I am still trying to find out just how bad the MPG is for this beast that justifies a $2600 Gas Guzzler Tax. We may need a larger gas tank, 16 gal may not get us very far.

Speaking of fuel tank sizes.. I was boat shopping today..check this beaut out.

1000 gallon fuel tank!

But in general wouldn’t you say dodge is doing very well as a product line? I personally would like ford to come back out with some ohv new tech v8’s from 6-7.3L (I know the 7.3 is now out in trucks) in various models.

I’d love a v8 Durango, Ram, challenger, charger, etc etc. great cars

The rub with Mopar trucks has always been the shabby interior.

The new stuff is very very nice. They've definitely fixed that problem.

You must have some very large lakes in your neighborhood?

On a side note:
Can you imagine how much dope you could cram in that tank and still be able to out run the law?

We have the largest man-made lake in the world, it has 1,150 miles of shoreline.

A LOT OF DOPE.

I noticed a mistake in the eSourcebook concerning the size of the tires for the base GT500. It has them listed as 295/30ZR20 & 305/30ZR20. I wonder how many other things are in there that haven't been updated?
Yea, my order receipt from my ford dealer clearly shows a 305 tire front and 315 Rear tire. And I didn’t order a CFTP car

The tires on both the base and CFTP cars are the same size. 305/30/ZR20 & 315/30ZR20. The tires are different.

I decide to play what if with the rear gears.

Tune for 8k rpm, and factor the tires grow 1.5-2” by that kind of speed, might be an easy way to very comfortably get these cars in the 9.50@140+ range

Can you run it for 8k rpm with that 28” tire, and 4.30? I guess the tire going to 29-30” matters too but it’s hard to figure how gradually it does that

Do you have any examples of cars that you’ve used this spreadsheet on and have real world comparison?
One example would be the Hellcat and Demon.
Should have all the same data from those 2 cars to input into your spreadsheet. And we also have many internet and verifiable datasets on the real world track results to compare and potentially validate it.
Might be able to predict the performance test results I hope we all get to see sooner than later.

Here is my previous car. The only changes Ive made to conditions, were to tire friction to get a known 0-60, as the 60ft wont go any lower for some reason.

i dont know, but looks pretty close to me
