Agree wholeheartedly. The Japanese are extremely protectionist. They take deep pride in their automotive industry. There may consolidation that would happen with the Japanese auto industry, but it would all take place within Japan. Japan has never been fond of somebody else owning anything...

No, I am saying that the cars of the company she runs are ugly, and that several of their top performance cars were at best half baked. ZR1, and the really fast Camaro had spooky handling when driven as intended. THAT shouldn’t happen in this day and age. Ralph would never let a car like the...

How Nissan is connected to the deal. Renault owns majority shares of Nissan, but not all. Nissan owns shares in Renault. Nissan has two voting members on the Renault’s board. Renault appoints the CEO/President of Nissan. Nissan owns Mitsubishi outright. So, if a deal went down, Nissan...

FCA sends a letter to GM. Hey Mary, remember our offer? Yeah, forget about it.

How about this for a name. The French-Italian-American-Japanese-Transportation Company. Or FIAJT for short. The J is silent.

So, as a racer, this is sort of my wet dream. Three of my favorite Racing Marques will all be together: Mopar, Nissan, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Lance’s, Maserati. Renault F1 is the former Lotus F1 team. Nissan is legendary in racing circles. They race to win. Period. This is so mind...

The only people blabbing anything are race teams. Again, Indont know if Wesley Motorsports is helping out with any mystery Chally. They may, they may not. I don’t even know for sure about any mystery Chally. Only what has been rumbling around with the race teams to whom I talk. I do know...

They could, but I don’t think there would be a need. At least not yet. If somebody wanted one, just go to Wesley Motorsports. Talk to them. They would tell you what parts they are using. Everything is a purchasable part: shocks, rotors, calipers, brake ducting, splitter, wing, hood, deck...

Still no word from SRT on what, if any skunkworks projects are under wraps. It’s weird. I usually have the slow trickle of hints and clues, but for like four of five months my people just shrug when I make inquiries.

They are running 345 Toyo gum balls. The only thing ACRish that is missing is a rear diffuser. When you see the up close videos of it, it is truly a monster. I mean 800hp, and enough torque to alter the earth’s rotation, STOCK! There aren’t a ton of race cars up at that power level. That puts...

Challengers can handle. This is well know among diehard fans. The Wesley Chally is far better. The parts are all pretty basic speed stuff. The calipers are identical to the ACR. They are running brake cooling duct work from the front. Rotors were stock Redeye, now they are Pagid (iirc). The...

The car that Wesley Motorsports is running is basically an ACR kitted Challenger. The wing and splitter are the exact same part number. The other stuff is the same, but different to meet the needs and specifics of this car. The ZF 8 speed is flappy paddled I believe. This car IS fast. It...

That sure is an easy assumption to make isn’t it?

I agree. In so many ways. As for Wallpaper, look at the car now. You’re going to need to update your words. There is a new splitter that looks like it belongs on an endurance prototype, and they lifted the Viper X-wing way way way high; so high that the ‘69/70 Daytona/Superbird would feel...

They are a really good team, racing a really really cool Mopar. That’s about all I’ll say.

If you’re on Facebook, you NEED to follow the Wesley Motorsports team. Their new Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye just got a LOT more badass. There are a number of reasons you need to follow this car. Trust me. This is form the car will take when it tries to conquer the mountain (Pike’s Peak)...

There is codevelopment in Italy and the US on many models. SRT doesn't really do production lone development sort of stuff. Like the 2019 Ram has almost 40 different driveshafts, and how they work into the production line. They don’t do that. They also don’t do major chassis or engine...

As for a Challenger that would essentially be an ACR? No, there is no crash testing to do (tmk), there is no engine recertification work to do, there is only the suspension, brake, and aero work to do, and much of that work could already be in process… They did the whole Viper ACR project...

Also, the 426 is from what I know coming, in Challenger first, and then the Charger, and at some point I suspect in Ram, too. I expect the 6.4 to get a power boost; the 5.7—I have no clue about that.

There are Chargers and various Challies being devolved by SRT. We all know about the WB Charger, and it will certainly have the Redeye engine. There is also a well founded rumor of a Challenger “handler”. Nobody knows what it will be called, but from what I gather (and what I know) ACR...
